A family doesn't call a funeral home during business hours. The phone has to be answered by a person, not a voicemail, at 2am the same as at 2pm.
Hiscall designs, installs and supports phone systems, an obituary line, on-call emergency mailbox, sound masking, temperature monitoring, video streaming and CCTV for funeral homes nationwide. One certified team installs it, and the same team answers when you call.

A funeral home serves grieving families at the worst moment of their lives, often in the middle of the night, and the systems behind that work have to be as dependable and as dignified as the staff providing it. Reliable phone systems that ensure 24/7 availability are a must, not a convenience, and the same discretion that shows up in a private arrangement room has to show up in how a sensitive conversation is kept confidential. Hiscall designs the whole path, from the first call to the service itself, and supports all of it with the same certified technicians who installed it.
How it fits together
From the first call to the service itself
A funeral home can't afford a missed call or a preparation room that goes unmonitored overnight. Built as one system, both stay covered around the clock. Built from four separate vendors, both are exactly what falls through the cracks.
The night call
VoIP and digital phone systems, an obituary line and an on-call emergency mailbox, plus MLC mobile single number reach, make sure a family calling at any hour reaches a real person, not a voicemail.
The arrangement
Sound masking and acoustic solutions give families privacy for a sensitive conversation, with message on hold keeping every other call professional in the meantime.
The service
Sound systems, video streaming and video conferencing let family who can't attend in person still be part of it, and digital signage with multimedia presentations honor the person being remembered.
The care
Temperature monitoring and alerting watch the preparation room around the clock, and access control and CCTV secure the facility, all riding on the low voltage cabling and data network underneath.
Why one team
What actually changes when one team owns the whole system
A funeral home that buys phones, cameras and monitoring from three vendors owns the gaps between them too, at a moment with no room for one. Here is what that costs in practice.
| Where it counts | Hiscall | Separate vendors per system |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | One team, one schedule | Coordinated by you, across contractors |
| Support calls | A Hiscall employee who knows your facility | Whichever vendor you guess is responsible |
| System integration | Designed together from the start | Bolted together after the fact, if at all |
| Overnight monitoring & alerts | One point of accountability | Finger-pointing between vendors |
| Everything else | Cabling, cameras, AV, IT, all included | Another vendor, another contract |
Built for the sensitivity of the work, not adapted to it
Four capabilities that general low voltage contractors typically do not carry.
- Obituary line & on-call emergency mailbox. Gives grieving families a dedicated way to reach you, any hour, without tying up your main line.
- Sound masking & acoustic solutions. Keeps a sensitive arrangement conversation private in a room that was never built for acoustic isolation.
- Temperature monitoring & alerting. Watches the preparation room around the clock and alerts staff immediately if conditions drift.
- Video streaming & video conferencing. Lets family who can't travel still be present for the service, in real time.
What we install
Every system across the facility, from one team
Most funeral homes buy each system from a different vendor, then spend years getting them to talk to each other. We put them on one design and one support relationship.
Phone systems
VoIP and digital phone systems with an obituary line, on-call emergency mailbox, and MLC mobile single number reach for round-the-clock availability.
TelecommunicationsCabling and infrastructure
Copper and fiber optic low voltage infrastructure installed by BICSI-certified technicians, sized to a single funeral home or multiple locations.
Network CablingAccess control & CCTV
Access control and CCTV security cameras protecting the facility around the clock, under Tennessee CCTV license #1405.
Security SolutionsData networking & monitoring
Data networking equipment plus temperature monitoring and alerting that keeps the preparation room within range around the clock.
IT Services & Data NetworkingSound systems & acoustic solutions
Sound systems for the chapel, sound masking and acoustic solutions for private conversations, and message on hold for every other call.
Audio VisualVideo streaming & digital signage
Video streaming and video conferencing for services, plus digital signage and multimedia presentations honoring the person being remembered.
Audio VisualFacilities we work with every week
From a single family-owned home to a multi-location provider, with the same certified technicians on every job.
- Independent, family-owned funeral homes. Phones, sound masking and CCTV scoped to a single facility, not sold as an enterprise package.
- Multi-location funeral providers. Consistent systems and support across every location, with one point of contact instead of a different vendor per site.
- Funeral homes with on-site preparation rooms. Temperature monitoring and alerting built specifically around that space's around-the-clock requirements.
- Chapels & service facilities. Sound systems, video streaming and video conferencing sized to the room and the service being held.
How we work
Five steps, and you know who to call at each one
Survey
We come to you at no charge, look at what is already in place, and tell you honestly what should be replaced and what has life left in it.
Design
You get a documented scope and clear pricing. For a multi-location provider, we design one standard that repeats cleanly across every facility.
Install
Installation is scheduled around services, not around us.
Train
On-site sessions for directors, front-office and facilities staff, repeated as often as your team needs it.
Support
You call us directly, not a queue, with 24/7/365 emergency response and unlimited moves, adds and changes.
Local technicians, coverage across the Midsouth and beyond
Two Tennessee offices put a certified Hiscall employee close by. Cloud-managed systems let us monitor, configure and resolve a great deal remotely, so a multi-location provider costs you far less time than it used to.
- Dickson. Corporate headquarters and 25,000 square foot distribution facility, serving Middle Tennessee and the Nashville region. Reach the Dickson office directly at (615) 740-7771.
- Knoxville. Branch office at 4620 Old Broadway, serving East Tennessee since 2001, with the same certified technicians and the same emergency response. Reach the Knoxville office directly at (865) 862-4650.
- You reach a person. You work directly with a trained, certified, Hiscall-badged employee. Your needs are not outsourced to a call center overseas.
- Beyond our two offices. We also have employees based in West Tennessee and Kentucky, and we support customers throughout the Midsouth region and several nationwide.
