Not Your Average Funeral Home

Miranda Woodberry, Office Administrator at Backus Funeral Home, sat down with us to tell us a little more about this award-winning business and its impressive online reputation.

The first question we had for Miranda was what makes Backus Funeral Home stand out compared to the many other funeral homes in South Carolina. Here’s her response:

“We’re professional, and we give it our all. When you come in, you’re family, and we treat you that way!”

Miranda added:

“We are a faith-based business. God is our head, and we allow Him to give us the strength that we need. When you follow His lead, the doors will open!”

We also asked Miranda what their mission is at Backus Funeral Home and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what she had to say:

“We attend community events to give back to the community. We make sure to support the church, youth and senior organizations, and sponsor events. We want people to know that we are here for them.”

Building Success by Asking for Feedback

Miranda attributes Backus Funeral Home’s strong online reputation to their commitment to doing the best they can with their services and asking for reviews.

When asked how Backus Funeral Home has gotten their name out there outside of building a powerful online reputation, Miranda said:

“We don’t put ourselves out there too much. Our work speaks for itself. When you do an excellent job, everyone else will speak for you!”

There are so many business owners out there looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Miranda’s expert advice for them:

“Always remain professional. Communication is the key! Support your community as a family, too, and be there when they need you!”


Congratulations to the team at Backus Funeral Home for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Miranda, for taking the time to speak with us!
