Management Services
As an independent, family-owned business, Buchanan Group can tailor a management program to fit the specific needs of a client. We do not mandate a predetermined program, but instead, offer a cafeteria-style group of services for the client to choose from. We seek out a win/win opportunity for both parties.
| Buchanan Group offers experienced services in: |
Accounting
Audit Preparation
Accounts Payable / Receivables
Budgeting |
Endowment Requirements
Health & Benefit Plans
Personnel
Management Information Services
Sales Programs |
An overall management agreement can be developed where we assume responsibility for all expenses, receive all revenues and pay the client/owner a percentage of the revenues. In reverse, we can receive a percentage of revenues as a management fee and maintain your employees as they are today. These options are appropriate for absentee owners, heirs, semi-retired owners or non-profit companies lacking management expertise.
In either instance, the entire programming will be mutually developed to meet the specific needs of your business. When the relationship is established the client can benefit from a myriad of advantages of being affiliated with a larger group. Our volume discounts and/or specific expertise can be brought to your organization. This is obtained while you retain ownership or control of your corporation.
Sales Services
Our success has come by seamlessly integrating sales into the customer service process. Our process makes follow-up sales opportunities part of the complete service package.
Buchanan Group can provide sales management and/or sales agency services. We can hire and train sales service teams as your employees or ours. We can provide marketing ideas that you execute or we can prepare and implement the plan.
An agreement with Buchanan Group is a road map for a long term, mutually beneficial relationship.
What Sets Us Apart
Experience
The Buchanan family has owned and managed funeral homes for over 120 years. Our involvement with cemeteries goes back over 80 years. This blending of funeral and cemetery expertise distinguishes Buchanan Group from other specialized companies. We have served thousands of families with dignity at the highest level of service possible.
Our management team consists of highly-trained professionals with experience both inside and outside of the death care industry. This blend gives Links industry knowledge, fresh insights and top-notch professionalism. Our goal is to provide solid financial results in a framework of service to the family and the community.
Vision
Our philosophy is to be the leader in the markets we serve. As consumer habits and population trends change, we find ways to meet the challenge. Our eye is always on what is happening nationally, evaluating how new trends might have local impact. For example, we developed our own Family LegaciesTM biography software to expand how a cemetery can serve its customers. Links, through our leadership, have added community centers and gift shops, all designed to market death care in new and expanded ways.
Innovation
In a competitive environment it is critical that your services stand out above the rest. Our sister company, Flanner & Buchanan Funeral Centers, has been an innovator since the beginning when Frank Flanner became the first licensed embalmer in Indiana. They were the first to build a crematory, develop a combination, to offer community rooms at their funeral centers. Innovation is a process that never stops.
Integrity
In business you are only as good as your name. The Buchanan name stands for quality, trust, service and integrity. |
