What is a Funeral Home?

Unfortunately, as our loved ones age, we must be prepared for the necessary steps to take after their death. Funeral homes provide post-life accommodations according to the wishes of the family of the deceased individual. Most people think of a funeral home simply as a place where the dead are housed prior to burial, however funeral homes actually provide a full array of services that are typically an afterthought to most families during their time of despair. Items such as transfer of the deceased body from the place of death, arrangement of the funeral service, and filing important paperwork such as the death certificate, are just some of the many critical items that a family should not have to worry about just hours after the death of a loved one.
