Funeral home selection is obviously, the first step and a vital part of funeral planning. Depending on where you live, this is sometimes predetermined for a family simply due to demographics or a family's longtime relationship with a particular firm. In more rural areas you may only have one or two funeral homes to choose from. Most larger metropolitan areas are usually served by multiple facilities offering vast choices and prices.

If you live in or near an area that has several funeral homes, I suggest you do some "comparison shopping" before you make a commitment. If your unfamiliar with the funeral homes in your area, ask friends or other family members for recommendations. I advise calling three funeral homes
(or at least two!) with questions about services desired and related costs. Beware, you may be shocked by the variation in prices and services offered.
 
It is not uncommon for people to be hesitate to call a funeral home and ask questions related to funeral planning, but they don't need to be. The Federal Trade Commission's "Funeral Rule" now mandates that all funeral homes in the United States provide service and price information over the phone. Remember, reputable firms will always be happy to answer your questions.  
 
This proactive approach to funeral planning should go a long way in helping you to make sure you have made the right funeral home selection.
