What to Look for When You Tour a Funeral Home?

Michael Bernardo • April 20, 2020

While most people would rather talk about just about anything other than death and dying, the reality is that you’ll need the help of a funeral home in Aspen, CO at some point. But before you choose one, it makes sense to do your research so that you select the right one. Your research should include, among other things, visiting funeral homes for a tour. You might be wondering what you should be looking for. Here’s a look at what to be on the lookout for.

Check Out the Facilities

You’ll want to see the operations or the facilities. If the goal is to plan a funeral service, check out the facilities that would be made available to you for such a service. If the goal is to plan a cremation service, then you’ll also want to see the facilities reserved for this body disposition. This is especially important if the goal is to view the cremation process while it’s in progress. Be sure to ask questions during the tour. You’ll make better decisions if you’re well informed.

Gauge the Professionalism

You’ll also want to pay particular attention to how you’re treated by staff. You don’t want to work with a funeral home that merely tells you that it prioritizes customer service – you want to see actions that mirror these sentiments. How helpful are the staff? Do they make a point of greeting you and of offering you assistance when you arrive? Do the staff at the funeral home exude professionalism? Do they answer your questions and take the time to explain things properly? These are some of the questions you can ask yourself as you assess funeral homes you visit.

Ask About the Range of Services

If you haven’t already started to plan the final services, then you can use the onsite tour period to ask questions about the range of services the funeral home offers. You’ll find this useful if you’re new to the responsibility of funeral planning. The person conducting the tour will be able to respond to your questions and comments in real-time so that you get the information you need.
