Choose a funeral home. Prices and service quality can vary, even among funeral homes within a two-mile radius. Call the funeral homes, and ask for a General Price List that you can review - they are obligated, according to FTC regulations, to provide their individualized pricing to you. Once you've chosen a funeral home that you feel comfortable with, the funeral director will ask all the necessary questions and help you in all aspects of arranging a funeral. Do not be afraid to consult a few funeral homes and discuss their services and costs.
