However, none of these reasons really address the emotional grief needs of the family, and only location addresses the ease or stress level of the family. The fact is, most people don’t know very much about funerals and their emotional needs during this difficult time, so they are not entirely sure what factors to consider when choosing a funeral home.

At Funeral Choices, we believe that funeral homes should be selected based upon three factors:

1. How meaningful and helpful the services are in meeting the family’s emotional needs.
2. How convenient or easy the whole experience is from arrangements to after care.
3. How much the services cost.

In other words, funeral services should be more meaningful, more convenient, and more affordable.

The professionals at Funeral Choices are available to help you understand more about your funeral choices, your family’s needs during this difficult time, and the costs involved in funeral services. Simply contact us at 539-4508, and we will be privileged to help you work through these decisions at no obligation.

More Meaningful

Funeral Choices has developed a specialized process that helps us understand the specific needs of the family and the life that was lived so that we can create a more meaningful funeral service that will support your family as you begin the journey of grief. We will ask Life Exploration questions and we will make suggestions about ways to reflect the life through many personalized aspects of the funeral service, typically at little or no cost. Service location can play a key role in reflecting and honoring what was important in the life of your loved one, and we will help you explore your many options. Learn more.

More Convenient

Many families have passed up important grieving opportunities because the process of funeral planning was too exhausting to leave time to do the meaningful work of grief. At Funeral Choices, we make things easier on you and your family so that you can focus on the difficult work of mourning the loss of the person who died. Our staff will come to your home to make all necessary arrangements, saving you time and trouble. We give you the option of holding the service at a place of your choosing (not just a funeral home). And our packaging system allows you to focus on the choices that are most relevant and important to you and your family. Learn more.

More Affordable

The three keys to making a service affordable are:

1. Make sure you are paying for what you want and need. In other words, make sure you understand all your choices and that you are allowed to make those choices.
2. Make sure that you are not paying for the funeral home facility if you are not using it. In most typical funeral homes, even if you don’t use the facility, the cost of owning and operating that facility will be reflected in the overhead cost structure that you pay.

3. Make sure you compare prices among funeral homes. Taking the time to learn about what you want and comparing pricing can literally save you thousands of dollars. Click here for a convenient comparison of prices from most of the funeral homes in your area.
