Gameplay Tips
The art of the deal

The goal of a modern mortician is sizing up your customers to find out how much they can spend.

Done - Clicking this will finish the sale, you will automatically make whatever your "total" is up to.

Hard Sell - this will attempt to sell them about $2,500 more of stuff.

Soft Sell - this will try to sell them something smaller between $150 and $550. Great for padding the bill to perfectly reach the max amount a customer can pay.

Simply attempting to sell without knowing your customer is foolish indeed.

Luckily you have some special tools of the trade - used correctly you can both learn your customers monetary "limit" and at the same time will lower the customers "resistance" level. Also known as "cheapness".

Guilt - Works only on people who are only doing the funeral for show or did not really love or mistreated the departed. If you're lucky you can also learn how much they can spend...

Sympathy - this option gives identical results as Guilt but is effective on those who are emotionally having a hard time dealing with the loss.

Be careful not to upset the customer too much or to try to sell them more than they can afford - or they will walk and possibly patronize the competition.

Guilting when you should Sympathize and vice-versa can make customers irate very quickly.

The Undertaker's Tips

Some good info:

  • If a customer reached the emotional level of "Pissed" it's probably a good idea to just click done and finish the sale before they walk out mad.
  • If another parlor is being particularly bothersome, send him a Cursed Tiger from Yang's. This will lower his luck by 10. You can only send one per day by default so don't waste it.
  • Players will be auto-deleted if they have 0 total BP or don't play for 15 days.
  • In battle, "First Attack" will go to the parlor with the most plots. (total burials)
  • Upgrade your psychology skill, this will help you understand your customers better. Higher levels of psychology will give you new skills such as automatically reducing cheapness, improving mood and even doubling their max spending limit!
  • Additional parlor improvements such as a safe and heavy padlock may be useful. Got to the Di-Mart store and read about them to learn their effects in the game.
