IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE...
As a funeral director, you're not just a business; you're a vital part of your community. But with the rise of national direct cremation providers, you're facing new challenges.
Your marketing needs to be more than just death notices. It needs to tell your story, build trust, and show why your local, personal service is irreplaceable.
Are you tired of:
-
Losing enquiries to online-only competitors?
-
Feeling like you don't have time to create a marketing plan?
-
Struggling to know what to post on social media to build community?
-
Spending money on Google pay-per-click (PPC) ads, and not knowing if they are working?
-
Wondering how to effectively promote your own direct cremation services?
We're here to help. And we find that for many funeral directors, a few simple tweaks to their marketing can have a massive impact!
What our clients say
I would highly recommend Debbie at Avens Marketing. Debbie is incredibly knowledgeable about marketing and the funeral industry. She has helped with my marketing strategy, website refresh, social media campaigns for funeral plans and has recently taken over our PPC and SEO campaigns.
As a funeral director, I often don't have the time to put content together so having Debbie's help has been invaluable. It's very difficult as a family business to compete with the larger companies on marketing campaigns but with Debbie's help this is now possible.
Rebecca Hillier, Hillier Funeral Service
Debbie is great to work with, very knowledgeable and helpful. She has a great understanding of our expectations. She has helped with our social media marketing and general marketing ideas and designs. Highly recommended.
Sam Gaunt, F. P Gaunt Funeral Directors

Mark Hull
Your Team At Avens Marketing
I'm Debbie Avens, a funeral marketing specialist. And I'm passionate about helping funeral businesses to improve their marketing to attract new clients and protect market share.
I've worked as a professional marketer in the funeral sector for over 15 years, which means I understand the challenges independent funeral directors are facing due to:
-
Millions being spent on TV advertising by the big direct cremation providers promoting funeral plans
-
Changing customer behaviour towards direct cremations
-
More people wanting lower cost funerals
These are all big changes in the sector that are having an immediate impact on your local market share and average value per funeral.
I work with funeral directors to implement local marketing plans that work. Plans that are strategic, sensitive and hugely effective.
And we can help your business too. When you work with Avens Marketing, you're not just getting a plan - you're getting a partner who understands funeral marketing, who works to understand your local market and your individual business and is passionate about your success
