For funeral homes
The answering service, side by side.
Parovia answers, in English or Spanish, only from the information your home verified, and writes down what the family shares for your staff. Grief is met with calm — never a sales script, never pressure. Here is what Parovia and an answering service each do with the calls that come after hours.
Side by side
| Parovia | An answering service | |
|---|---|---|
| Who answers at 2am | An assistant, not a person, and it does not pretend to be one. | A person who does not know your funeral home. |
| Where answers come from | Only what your home verified: hours, locations, what to bring, how arrangements begin. | Usually none. It takes a message. |
| Languages | English and Spanish. | Depends on who is on shift. |
| Arrangements, payments and records | Never automatic. The assistant prepares, a person at your home commits. | May take payment details over the phone, or pass along a message with no next step. |
| Cost | $449 per month. 300 after-hours minutes, $0.40 per minute after, no cap. A 30-day free pilot. Your card stays on file and nothing is charged until day 31. | Varies by provider. |
