Must-Read Social Media Stats for Funeral Homes: Mid-Year 2025
How Often to Post, When to Post, and Why It Matters More Than Ever
Social media has become one of the most important tools for connecting with families — not just during a time of need, but long before they ever make the first call.
In the first half of 2025, our Tribute Technology experts analyzed billions of data points from funeral homes across the country. The result? A clearer-than-ever picture of how funeral professionals should be showing up online to build trust, grow awareness, and stay ahead of the curve.
If you're wondering when to post, how often, or what actually drives engagement — these stats are for you.
How Often Should You Post?
Post 3–5 times per week.
That’s the current sweet spot for visibility and engagement. Less than that, and your audience forgets you. More than that, and engagement plateaus.
Posting consistently sends a clear signal: you're active, responsive, and present in the community — even online.
When Should You Post?
Engagement peaks during two daily windows:
- Morning: 8:00–10:00 AM
- Evening: 6:00–8:00 PM
These windows are when your core audience — adults 45+ — are most active online. Scheduling posts during these times maximizes your chances of being seen, clicked, and shared.
Bonus Stat: Organic Reach Is Still Shrinking
On average, only 2–3% of your followers will see your posts without paid promotion.
That means even great content can go unnoticed unless you boost it. But here’s the good news: targeted social ads are still one of the most cost-effective ways to reach local families — especially when paired with consistent posting.
