Ifp Information

Independent Funeral Professionals, Inc. has been providing support for independent funeral homes since early 1997. The funeral industry has been changing dramatically, and new techniques are needed to help the independent compete in the future. Even "small" funeral homes are important businesses in their communities, and operating these businesses well allows the owners to provide additional value to families in the future. Independent Funeral Professionals was created to help the independent, and offers a full menu of support. We understand the challenges of the funeral home owner, and bring talent and skills to supplement the independent, providing depth and more options. The quality funeral homes we support have experienced growth and a gain in marketshare. We help our member firms expand on their strengths, and help them tell their story. Because we have marketing and administrative experts on our staff, we are prepared to offer our members a full range of extended services to help assure the success of these funeral homes in a competitive market. We believe that the funeral profession offers compassionate service at a very difficult time for most people, and that this profession was built by independent caregivers who have been dedicated to high standards of service. Independent Funeral Professionals recognizes this unselfish service, and works with quality funeral homes to expand their marketshare.
