Biggs funeral home was a funeral home in Texas for over 35 years. They were a place that gave families the time they deserved to be with the loved ones they loved. As the company that operated the funeral home, Biggs Memorial was a place that helped families grieve.
Biggs Memorial started out a place that provided grief counseling to those that needed it, then went on to be a funeral home in its own right. Today, Biggs Memorial is a full-service funeral home that operates out of a funeral home and is a place that helps families deal with grief in a variety of ways.
At the funeral home, all of the families that came to Biggs for a funeral got to share a private room with the funeral director. These rooms, in turn, were filled with family photos, flowers, and other things that helped to make a family feel at home. These rooms were also filled with the family’s most prized possessions, including the family’s favorite food items.
Because there’s usually only one funeral director at a funeral home, if a family wants to have their funeral director come to their home, they must hire a family member to travel to the home after the funeral director has left. When the family is ready to have the funeral director at their home, they can call the funeral home to book the travel time and have the funeral director pick up the family there so he is at their home before the funeral director arrives.
This system, called “ghosting”, is used to save money. Sometimes, the family has a service of some sort that will take longer than planned. The family hires a travel agency to do the logistics and bring the funeral director to the funeral home. This system works great because the family can get the funeral director at their home in time and save money.
The problem is that this system is not without its disadvantages. It’s not like you can just get the funeral director in the city and be done with it. The funeral director needs to show up at the funeral home. That means going through the entire funeral home to pick up the family which takes time. The time that the family spends picking up the family has to be worth it. It’s not like the family’s going to just show up at their home.
So lets say the funeral director is delayed. How much time are they going to waste? That is a common problem that people have encountered. If the funeral director is delayed for any length of time, then the family has to pay out of pocket for the funeral director. People are not just going to just show up at the funeral home. They are in a situation where they have to either pick up the family from the funeral home or pay out of pocket for the funeral director.
So the funeral home has an arrangement in place with the family, but that’s not as easy as it seems. In most funeral homes the funeral director is paid by the family. This means that you get paid by the family’s insurance, and the funeral director knows how much time he will be able to spend with the family.
Biggs funeral home works in a very similar situation. Its owner is in a tough situation. His funeral home is going to have to pick up the family from the funeral home or pay out of pocket for the funeral director. But his office is already paying for it, and the funeral director is the one who is going to be paid by the familys insurance.
The funeral director gets paid by the insurance on the funeral home. This is very similar to how an insurance company pays their claims adjuster. The compensation for the adjuster is determined by the compensation for the funeral director, and the compensation for the funeral director is determined by the compensation for their office. Since the funeral home pays the funeral director, and the funeral home pays the insurance company, the compensation for the adjuster is the same, or even cheaper.
