Case study · Funeral services
Always available, always compassionate
How a multi-site funeral provider ensures 24/7 availability with Zen Systems.
Where the old system fell short
Out-of-hours calls couldn't wait for business hours
A family-run funeral provider with multiple locations across Essex needed a reliable, flexible phone system for sensitive, time-critical work. With teams on-call 24/7, calls from bereaved families had to reach the right person, every time. Their previous setup made out-of-hours routing cumbersome and unreliable.
No on-call routing
Out-of-hours calls had nowhere reliable to go, day or night.
Disconnected branches
Each location ran its own setup, with no central control.
Rising per-line costs
Scaling up meant paying more for every extension added.
No safety net
A single point of failure could mean a missed bereavement call.
