A Practical Checklist

Things to ask when selecting a funeral home:

  • Are you a locally owned funeral home?
  • Are you a member of Selected Independent Funeral Homes?
  • What types of services could I receive here if there is life insurance or pre-paid arrangements were made?
  • What are the necessary steps, materials and/or government regulations to consider when pre-arranging a funeral?
  • Am I able to customize the funeral service I want for the deceased?
  • What kinds of funeral packages do you offer?

Materials to pick up while at the funeral home:

  • A general price list (GPL) and list of services
  • A copy of price list for caskets, urns, etc., if not included in the GPL
  • A written memorandum of charges, if funeral goods and services are agreed upon or purchased
