Common Questions
 
 

Why is the selection of a Funeral Home so important?

A death forces you to deal with a world of details you know little about and at a time when you are most vulnerable. Since you must depend in large part on guidance from a funeral home, it's important that you have confidence that these advisors are open, honest, and have your best interests at heart when helping you plan a funeral.

Other than providing the funeral service, what else should I expect from my funeral director?

The director should describe and explain all the options open to you in planning the funeral. Those options are almost limitless, so the more freely you discuss what you specifically want; the easier it will be for him or her to help you create a truly personalized service. In addition, because a funeral can be an event of such deep emotional impact, the director's staff should be professionally committed to help you through this trying experience.

Can you perform the funeral service even though I already own my cemetery lot?

Yes. Where you own cemetery space should have not bearing on which funeral home you select. We can arrange any type of service, at virtually any location desired.

We are not members of a church, Who would conduct the service?

If you desire a religious service, your funeral director can make arrangements for you with a local clergyman from a denomination with which your family has had some past association. Or if a more intimate or informal approach is preferred, a family member might offer a few simple words. A good friend could read some poetry. You could even plan a music only service with no speaker. Any of these can be appropriate, as long as the form of service you select will be meaningful to your family.

What happens if a casket I selected in my prearrangement plan is not available when needed?

Regulations in Advanced Planning contracts require detailed descriptions of all merchandise selected. This protects the consumer as well as the mortuary. In remote cases where particular merchandise is not available, it is Rosewoods' policy to offer a selection of merchandise of equal or better quality then what was originally purchased.

How can I find out if your services are right for my family's specific needs?

We can send you some general information which will apply to anyone planning a funeral. But to make informed decisions, you'll want more specific facts. And the fastest, easiest and most effective way for you to get them is to sit down, visit with us, review our programs, discuss various options and ask questions.

Do I have to pay for my advanced funeral plan all at once?

No. Several payment options and plans are available, including ones that allow you to pay over a period of time. Your Rosewood consultant will be happy to explain all the options, so you can select one that best fits your situation. After all, one of the biggest advantages of advanced planning is your protection from increased future costs.
