How To Know If You Have Hired A Good Funeral Director Or A Bad One

Funeral Directors Miami FL

When planning a funeral, you will be talking to many funeral directors in Miami, FL. So, how do you know who is good and who is out there to take your money? Read the pointers given below and use them to find yourself a trustworthy funeral director the next time you need to arrange a funeral.

·        The signs of whether the funeral director is good or not will start from the very first time you talk with them. Most often people call their nearest funeral homes and talk with the person in charge to know more. If the funeral director does the following things, then he or she is not the best choice.

o   Give you vague answers to everything you ask especially price.

o   Then they will give you a bunch of reasons (most of which are bogus) regarding why they can’t talk about pricing over the phone.

o   This will be followed by persuading you to come to visit them so that you can talk face to face with them.

The reason why some funeral directors insist on meeting the family of the deceased person to discuss the funeral is that it is the best way then can emotionally push you. They can sell their most costly “deals” by talking to you in person for a long time. As you are already in emotional turmoil, the thought that you have to visit another funeral home for another such long “meeting” will make you succumb to their “deal”. But a good funeral director will be clear with his or her answers to every question you ask and will very clearly tell you their price list. They will ask you to visit them only when you have selected them as your funeral home.

·         The second way you can spot a bad funeral director is when they are trying to sell you items. They will only be interested in showing you top or mid-range caskets and if you are a novice, you will think that those are the only options available. They will never talk about or show you the affordable options unless you specifically ask for them. Then they will try to upsell services or products that you don’t really need. By only talking about the top or mid-range products they put the customers in a dilemma because if then they ask about the cheaper options, they will come across as “cheap” or stingy. But good funeral directors in Miami, FL will tell you about their whole catalog of caskets and other products/services and let you decide which price range is good for you.

If your funeral director is insisting that embalming is a must, it is time to move to a good one. As per Florida’s law embalming is needed only when the body is buried after 24 hours. Even then, it is not necessary to embalm it; any process that can safely stop bodily decay like refrigeration or placing it on dry ice can be done. Embalming is more a cosmetic procedure if you want the last look of your loved one to be life-like. Hence a good funeral director will offer the service but leave the decision to do it or not to the family of the deceased person.
