Multiple funeral home locations were operating on inconsistent CRM structures, fragmented workflows, and duplicated processes that made scaling difficult. Funnel Gator unified the entire GoHighLevel ecosystem for the client by standardizing sub-accounts, rebuilding bilingual automations, optimizing funnels, restructuring CRM data, and creating a scalable operational framework that improved consistency, efficiency, and long-term maintainability across every location.

The Challenge
Managing customer communication across multiple funeral home locations requires consistency, accuracy, and well-defined operational processes. Over time, each location had developed slight differences in CRM configuration, custom fields, forms, surveys, automations, and communication workflows. While each location was functional individually, the overall ecosystem had become increasingly difficult to manage, maintain, and scale.
The organization needed more than isolated updates. It required complete operational standardization that would ensure every location followed the same customer journey while still supporting bilingual communication and location specific operations. Differences in custom fields, duplicated CRM data, inconsistent workflows, and fragmented documentation created unnecessary administrative work and made future improvements more complex.
Rather than rebuilding isolated pieces of the system, the objective was to create one standardized GoHighLevel ecosystem that could be replicated across every funeral home location, giving the organization a consistent operational foundation while improving internal efficiency and long term scalability.
What We Built
1. Standardized the Multi-Location CRM Ecosystem
The project began with a complete review and standardization of multiple GoHighLevel sub-accounts to ensure operational consistency across every funeral home location.
The standardized implementation included:
Funeral Home Snapshot
Puerta Del Cielo
Strode Funeral Home
Walker Funeral Home (Ohio)
Walker Funeral Home (Oklahoma)
Ducro Funeral Home
Kuhn Funeral Home
Each sub-account was aligned with a consistent CRM structure, ensuring every location follows the same customer management process while remaining easier to maintain, support, and scale.
2. Rebuilt the CRM Architecture
To support standardized operations, the CRM itself was comprehensively restructured.
Completed CRM improvements included:
Creation of new custom fields
Updating existing fields
Removal of obsolete fields
Consolidation of duplicate fields
Renaming inconsistent fields
Folder organization for improved usability
Creation of dedicated "More Info Form" folders
Creation of "Others" folders
Mailer Code consolidation
Invoice field consolidation
Preneed field organization
Notes field organization
Lead Concepts updates
Lead Concept tagging
Contact record improvements

Contact creation improvements
Address updates

Tag management
The result was a cleaner CRM that captures standardized information across every location while significantly improving reporting accuracy and long-term maintenance.
3. Standardized Customer Journeys Through Forms & Surveys
Every major customer intake process was reviewed and standardized.
Completed implementations included:

Together, these automations reduce manual work while ensuring every customer receives timely and consistent communication throughout their journey.
6. Built a Complete Bilingual Communication System
Supporting both English- and Spanish-speaking families was a key objective of the project.
The ecosystem was expanded to include bilingual customer experiences across:
Surveys
Forms
Email templates
Subject lines
Headers
Privacy Policy
Terms & Conditions
Workflows
Grief letter sequences
This ensures customers can interact with the organization in their preferred language while maintaining a consistent experience across every communication channel.
7. Developed Complete Email Nurture Assets
To strengthen long-term customer communication, a comprehensive bilingual email library was created.

These communication assets provide every location with professionally structured follow-up campaigns that can be consistently delivered over time.
8. Improved Reporting & Documentation
To support future operations and simplify ongoing management, comprehensive documentation and reporting systems were created.
Completed deliverables included:
Two-month historical implementation report
Weekly Seminar Report
Weekly Direct Mail Report
Custom Seminar Report
Complete CRM documentation
Existing system documentation
Full GoHighLevel MindMap
Operational architecture documentation
This documentation gives the organization a centralized reference for understanding, maintaining, and expanding its CRM ecosystem.
