Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Buried in Work Directories?

Buried in Work’s directories are searchable lists of service providers in the estate transition, end-of-life, and transition industries. Visitors to our site use our directories to search for local service providers that meet their specific needs.

What type of service providers are included in Buried in Work’s Directories?

Buried in Work maintains directories for nearly 20 different types of service providers across all fifty states and Washington D.C..

Service providers can submit new listings, claim and provide additional information for existing listings, or request removal of an existing listing.

What is a unclaimed listing vs a claimed listing?

Unclaimed Listings: Buried in Work has pre-populated many directories by aggregating publicly available information, including thousands of service providers’ names and contact details. These unclaimed listings provide general information, including the service provider’s name, location, and phone number.

Claimed Listings: When a service provider claims a listing, by either clicking the “claim listing” button on a profile’s webpage or by submitting a new directory listing, they obtain the ability to edit the profile’s information. Claiming a profile unlocks additional data fields and an enhanced profile layout, as well as features such as direct messaging from website visitors.

Why would a service provider want to claim a listing?

A claimed listing listing provides greater information for those searching for service providers:

Add or update information about your business, including contact details, photographs, social media links, and service descriptions;
Receive inquiries from potential customers via our website’s messaging feature; and
Receive more prominent placement in search results.
