Choosing a funeral home.
Choosing a funeral home is quite often a decision made by tradition and “where your family’s always gone”. There is nothing wrong with that reasoning, but before you need to choose a funeral home, why not take some time to get all the facts.
- Have you met the funeral director in your community?
- Do you know their personal and professional reputation?

Touring a Funeral Home Can Be Educational!
Would your religious, fraternal or civic group like to make a tour of a funeral home facility? We, as funeral professionals, believe your members would benefit through the discussions with us and each other. Many people have no knowledge of funeral costs or procedures prior to a time of need, so an educational tour can be quite helpful to them.
Are you aware, for instance, of the more than 75 specific details to which we, as funeral directors, automatically attend? Have you wondered about the formal education and training which a licensed funeral director must have? Are you aware of the many information books available to you on grief and bereavement?
A tour might satisfy your curiosity about these questions and others. You’ll see how we meet the needs of individual families with the professional expertise our community has come to expect. Please contact your local funeral director for further information.
What a Funeral Home Provides.
A funeral director handles a myriad of details for each funeral to meet the special wishes and need of the family. As funeral directors, we often help out for several months after the funeral to make sure all details are completed. It is important for funeral directors to consult at length with the family on literally dozens of details. Here are just a few of them: Funeral – setting its time and who is to officiate; service venue; chapel, church, graveside, ect; choice of casket and/or urn, clothing; music, etc. Cemetery – purchase of lot, niche, or opening of family lot; getting permits as required. Notices – arranging death certificates and government forms, obituary, notifying fraternal (or other) groups. Funeral Day – organizing service details; helping conduct service; organize procession. Any of the many details can cause problems when not handled properly. We give EVERY funeral 100% of our time and attention to perform a service which comforts and fulfills the family’s needs.
