Families search for reassurance long before they pick up the phone. When your funeral brand shows up with warmth, relevance and proof of care, you become the trusted choice. Digital PR is the bridge between your daily acts of service and the stories the public reads online.

At Vey Media we run newsroom sprints that honour the sensitivity of bereavement communications. Every campaign blends empathy, rigorous approval processes and the data signals search engines value.

Start with lived experience

Your most powerful narratives come from the moments your team supports families. We workshop stories that celebrate grief support groups, remembrance services, eco-friendly choices and charitable partnerships. With approvals in place, we translate those moments into editor-ready pitches and multimedia assets.

Layer local SEO into every release

Press coverage should be more than feel-good headlines. We combine each placement with citation updates, Google Business Profile posts and internal link strategies so your authority compounds in map packs and organic results.

Protect tone and compliance

Nothing leaves our newsroom without sensitivity checks. We use our Empathy Review Framework to ensure language respects different cultures, faith traditions and stages of grief. Your directors stay in control while we handle outreach, follow-up and measurement.

When you are ready to explore a Digital PR sprint tailored to your chapels, book a discovery call. We will map the stories, outlets and metrics that protect your reputation and grow market share, then feed the results back into your service pages and local landing libraries.

Questions from founders and in-house teams

What press angles resonate most with bereavement audiences?

Editors respond to stories about grief support groups, remembrance services, eco initiatives and charitable partnerships—especially when supported by local data and dignified photography.

How do we measure the impact of funeral PR campaigns?

Track coverage, referral traffic, assisted conversions and branded search demand, then tie each story back to map pack metrics and enquiries captured via your websites.
