What is the Correct Way to Choose a Funeral Home?

Kevin Martens • May 18, 2020

Finding the right funeral home in Martensville, SK is not an easy task. When someone in your family passes on, you are grieving and you might feel like you are in a fog. That can make it hard to make decisions, including which company to use for final services.


Where to start? You want to find a funeral home that is reputable, has a lot past clients, and has some recommendations from those clients. You may just find yourself choosing a funeral home near you without looking into all of the options. But what are the costs? What services do they offer? Have they been around for a long time? You need to know these things before you commit.


Shop Around


You’re cheating yourself and possibly your loved one if you go the easiest route—the one where you use a service that is within your locale. Instead, shop around. It’s a good idea to put together a list of funeral homes within your area and see who has the best deal or the most affordable price along with the services you need. You don’t have to visit all of these funeral homes. You can just make calls from the comfort of your home and visit websites to get started. You will get to know the basic funeral home pricing and services to narrow things down.


Keep Your Eyes Open for Hidden or Added Costs


Cost is not the only thing you are looking out for. Sometimes the cheapest funeral home may have the worst service—maybe this is why they are so economical. And then there may be funeral homes that charge an arm and a leg, but you want to choose them because you have a rapport with the funeral director or because you believe the services are higher in quality. And you also have to watch out for funeral directors who are attempting to steer you into a funeral that you are in no way prepared for, or that is beyond the money you want to spend. Remember to get everything in writing.


Meeting with the Funeral Director


Once you have chosen the funeral home, you will have an initial meeting with the funeral director in person. This is the time to ask questions and learn more about the services offered by the funeral home. If in any way the funeral director won’t properly provide answers or seems not to be listening, move on and find another service.


Whatever decision you make, the moment your loved one dies is the time when you have to hunker down and pick a funeral home in Martensville, SK.
