McDougald Funeral Home

For Jesse McDougald, Vice President of the family-owned McDougald Funeral Home, an active preneed program is an essential part of the service he and the staff offer to the Anderson, SC, community.

“We really believe in what it provides for the family, not just for us,” McDougald explained, noting that since partnering with Homesteaders and third-party marketer Preneed Funeral Program (PFP) they have had an overwhelmingly positive response to their active approach to prearrangement.

“At PFP, we spend the time necessary and the dollars necessary to produce a desired outcome,” explained Troy Lovingood, Vice President of PFP, noting that the success they’ve seen at McDougald is consistent with the results they’ve come to expect from their programs. “We almost always see a 50 percent increase in a firm’s volume within the first 12 months of partnering with Homesteaders and PFP.”

“We like to do business with people like us – people who know what they’re doing,” noted Patrick Campbell, funeral director and certified preneed consultant at McDougald Funeral Home. “PFP and Homesteaders have been invaluable in taking us to the next level of capturing business and marketing prearrangements and preneed.”

“You’ve got to be 100% committed to make it work,” McDougald advised. “We’ve done that here at McDougald, and it’s really shown in the effects.”
