What should I be prepared to provide when going to the funeral home to make funeral arrangements?
Making funeral arrangements can be quite involved, but also quite simple; if you are prepared and have prearrangements. If prearrangements are not in place, we will be asking questions in reference to the completion for filing the death certificate, i.e: full name of the deceased, city and state of birth, date of birth, Social Security Number, Spouse’s full name, last residence address, occupation, Veteran’s status, Father’s full name, Mother’s full name including maiden name as well as the name, address and phone of responsibility party. We will obtain information regarding the services to be held, such as: date, time and place, cemetery location, minister, music, pallbearers, newspaper and or radio information, list of any preceded family members, surviving family members and any memorials in lieu of flowers. We will need the chosen clothing for the deceased to be dressed and a photo for placement in newspapers and on our website.
