SET THE TONE FOR THE REST OF THE FUNERAL HOME

When you open the doors of a nursing home, visitors immediately notice a distinct smell. This same smell can also be present when you arrive at a home with pets, or an older building, often called a 'wall hit' odor. Could you be unaware that this is happening at your funeral home, guests? 

It's time to pause and evaluate your visitors' experience at your funeral home. Visitors should be greeted with a pleasant scent that complements the environment. For a funeral home, this aroma should help reduce tension, promote comfort, and create a calming atmosphere. Suggested funeral home scents include chamomile, jasmine, sweet marjoram, and lavender. Avoid common funeral floral scents, such as lilac. My personal favorite aroma for a funeral home is "Snuggle." This plug-in emits a fresh, calming, and comforting aroma without a floral undertone. Equally important is maintaining your aroma tone, subtle throughout the funeral home.

Remember, the aroma upon entering your funeral home creates the first impression; it sets the tone for the entire space.
