Watch: How to Choose the Right Funeral Home

Making the right choice for your family begins with understanding your options. Watch this short video for helpful tips to guide your decision-making process.

1. Five-Star Reviews and a Strong Reputation

A good place to start is by checking reviews on trusted platforms like Yelp and Google. Look for funeral homes with a strong reputation, such as Anubis Cremations, which has over 150 five-star reviews. This indicates a consistent track record of compassion, professionalism, and excellent service.

Take time to read real stories from families to understand how a funeral home handles every step of the process. Reviews can also highlight specific strengths, such as transparent pricing, personalized care, or timeliness.

2. An Educational, Compassionate Approach

When you contact a funeral home, note how they communicate. Do they explain your options with patience and empathy? Are they proactive in educating you about the process and your choices?
