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
