Look for a funeral home that is professional and sincere. You’ll want a funeral director who will work with you to meet your end of life wishes, demonstrating care and compassion in the process. Note that even if you do not want to have a funeral service, your family will still need to arrange for a body transfer and final disposition.
Some factors to consider in choosing a funeral home:
Is the firm corporate or family-owned?
Do they have an entirely licensed staff?
Is the staff involved in helping the community?
Do they offer any comprehensive packages?
Does the funeral home have roots in my community?
Are they transparent with the services they offer and the costs?
