One thing which lots of people simply don’t realize is that there is no law about using a funeral home to organize a funeral, you can do it all yourself, although realistically, even if you had the necessary experience of the legal requirements involved, not many people are in a fit state to organize their own flowers never mind a full blown funeral. No, for the majority of people the calm efficiency of the funeral director and staff at the funeral home is a real comfort during their hours of need.
When it comes to choosing a funeral provider, many people simply choose to use the nearest cemetery and funeral home, or maybe one that has been recommended by family or friends (it is often a comfort to be in the company of a few familiar faces) but this isn’t necessarily the best thing to do. You might find that you are paying a higher price for your funeral, or restricting your choice in the goods and services on offer.
The Funeral Rule means that if you visit any funeral home they are required by law to give you a list of prices and services, so it ought to be pretty easy to compare what you get for your money. If you prefer to shop around by telephone they are also required to give you a list of prices, and some will even mail the list to you on request.
When you compare the price lists make sure that you take everything into consideration. Very often you’ll find that one particular part of the funeral service is cheaper at one home, but something else may be a cheaper option at another. Compare all of the details carefully.
You will often find that funeral homes will offer a service package which is generally the most cost effective method of organizing a funeral, but be sure to check the prices of the individual items on the list just to see how much of a bargain you’re getting.
You may feel a little awkward comparing funeral prices at the time of an imminent funeral, especially as you’ll be feeling extremely vulnerable and emotional, but it really is worth taking the time to check these things out, maybe sooner rather than later.
