From inside the profession
We know the funeral industry because we've worked in it.
Andrew started in the funeral profession at sixteen, working as a bearer, driver, arranger, logistics coordinator and memorial consultant.
Our director, David Coster, has spent more than 30 years in the profession. He has held senior leadership roles across Co-operative and independent funeral businesses and is a former National President of the British Institute of Embalmers.
We know the level of care you give every family, because we've given it ourselves. Our job is to make sure your marketing reflects that same standard, with respect and accuracy in every word.

Social media for funeral directorsI started in the funeral profession at 16, long before I did any of this. Bearer, hearse and limousine driver, arranger, memorial consultant.
I started The First Call because I watched how agencies treated the firm I worked at. Funeral directors were never the priority. So I've made it my mission to give them the same level of care they give their families.
Andrew, during his years in the profession
The First Call was built to give funeral directors the service they deserve. I understand the profession because I've stood in it, at every stage of the arrangement.
