DEATH CARE PLANNING
Death Care Planning. What a strange statement. Yet all of us will someday be faced with the realities of death care planning. Some of us will be planning for the death of a grandparent, a parent, an aunt, a sibling, a spouse, a significant other, a dear friend, a child, or even ourselves.
Many of us do not realize that we are the people that others are going to depend upon to carry out their final wishes.
Select a funeral home that you feel comfortable with. The funeral home should provide you with answers to the questions you may have regarding any and all aspects of funeral service.
All funeral service providers must give you a copy of their General Price List for you to keep. This is a federal law that is strictly enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. Each funeral provider must also show you a copy of a casket price list, an outer burial container price list, and an urn price list before showing and explaining any merchandise. Ask for these lists from your funeral service provider.
When inquiring about prices, ask about the ‘Entire Funeral Service’, from the time the deceased is taken from the place of death, all the way to the funeral luncheon. Any reputable funeral service provider should be able to give you the entire scope of the funeral service you wish to provide your loved one. Many families are not receiving full service if they only request a General Price List. We encourage you to explore all of your options before finally choosing the services you request.
The staff of Sax-Tiedemann Funeral Home & Crematorium encourages you to take time to review this information, and discuss it freely with your family, your clergy, and a qualified funeral director / cremation counselor. The benefit of researching your options ensures that the personal wishes of your loved one will not be overlooked. Thank you for taking the time to carefully understand what options are now in front of you.
