Get your texting number
Pay $20 once to apply. We handle carrier approval, which usually takes about a week, sometimes longer. You don't open a separate texting account.
For funeral homes
Don't let pre-need leads go quiet.
Text leads from your funeral home's name until they reply, book a time, or opt out. Steady follow-up that turns a quiet lead into a conversation — and a booked appointment.

What does it cost?
Setup is free. Applying for your number is $20 once, and that fee isn't refundable. Then $100/mo.
Is this compliant with TCPA and Facebook policies?
We only text people with a cell number and clear permission: those who submitted your Facebook Instant Form, and those you upload with documented consent. Uploaded families get texts only after you start them. Reply STOP and we never text again.
Do we need a new phone number?
Yes, a texting number for your home. It's $20 once to apply. We handle carrier approval, which usually takes about a week, sometimes longer. Families see texts from your funeral home's name.
How long until we can text?
Setup takes about 15 minutes. Carrier approval usually takes about a week, sometimes longer. After that, Facebook leads can get automatic follow-up. Uploaded families get texts only after you start them.
What if carriers turn down our application?
We fix it and resubmit at no extra charge. The $20 isn't refundable, and you never pay it twice.
Can we change the messages?
Yes. You edit your follow-up messages. Changes apply to new leads; people already in a thread keep what they started with.

Who we are

SMS program
Who gets texts, and why
Lantern Leads texts families who submitted a funeral home Facebook Instant Form (pre-need lead form) with a cell number and clear SMS consent, after they check an SMS consent box on that form. Lantern Leads also texts families the funeral home uploads with documented consent, and only after the home explicitly starts texts to them. Funeral-home staff may also send one test text to their own cell after checking the same consent. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.
