Shopping around for Funeral Homes

Why it's Important to Shop Around for Funeral Homes

Whether you are planning a loved one's funeral or simply pre-planning your own, it's important to shop around and find a funeral home or mortuary with which you feel most comfortable. The rule of thumb is to visit at least three facilities, if possible. Compare and contrast everything they offer including location, pricing and availability.

The funeral home you choose should be in an appropriate location that is convenient for everyone to get to and have ample parking. You may want to consider the distance to the cemetery as there may be an additional charge for transporting your loved one from the funeral home to the cemetery -- some companies charge by the mile. You will also want to compare prices between the funeral homes. Federal law mandates that all goods and services be put in writing.

Finally, you want to make sure that the funeral home is available when you need it and that the appropriate amount of time and attention is given to your loved one.  For more information, check out http://elegantmemorials.com.

Memorial Bookmark Templates

Make your funeral or memorial service special by giving memorial bookmarks to your guests.  Funeral and Memorial Bookmarks are a great way to honor your loved one's memory.  Friends and family will cherish this keepsake for years to come.

Making your own memorial bookmarks is an easy process if you start with bookmark templates.  These templates typically have 4 bookmarks per sheet, and can be printed on standard 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock or heavy paper.  Once printed, you can cut them out and laminate them to make them sturdier.  Bookmarks can also be embellished by adding fancy ribbon.
