Do Funeral Homes Have Your Best Interests At Heart?

August 26, 2019 • Teri Vila-Caballero

When you have to work with funeral homes in Key Biscayne, FL, you are dealing with mortality and the end of life in some way or another. Perhaps you have lost a loved one and you are planning their final services. Or, you’ve recognized that eventually you will pass on yourself and you are trying to plan your services in advance. Either way, the funeral home is there to help you get things set up. But funeral homes, in essence, are businesses. Do they really have your best interest at heart?

In short, as long as you choose a reputable funeral home, the answer is yes. Most funeral directors and those who work within the funeral home feel that the industry is a calling to them. It’s not just a ‘job.’ They have the careers they have because they genuinely want to help people through some of the difficult times in their lives.

When you work with funeral home representatives, you will notice that they will not make decisions for you. That is because they understand that no one can make decisions for your loved one other than you, their closest family member. While they will offer suggestions based on your circumstances, what they gather about your family and your loved one, and what others have done in the past, they will never push you in any direction. It might be easier if they did so you could make the decisions someone else’s burden, but that’s not in your best interest.

In the end, you need to be in charge of your loved one’s services, or of your own if you are pre-planning. The funeral home will help with ideas and options and they also understand that there may be budget constraints. They can help you meet your cost needs with options that will get you what you have to have for as little as possible. Their guidance can really help and they will only do things for you that they would want someone to do for them in your situation.

You can trust that funeral home representatives are there to show you compassion during a hard time. Not everyone knows how to treat someone who is dealing with death, but funeral home employees deal with it all the time and know just how to handle things. They have your best interest at heart and truly want to help you through your hard time.
