What services do most funeral homes offer?
Funeral homes offer a variety of services, everything from the traditional service which would be the actual service in the chapel or church and then the transportation of the body to the cemetary followed by the facilitation of the actual interment at the cemetary. But they also have other services that are more simple and less costly like direct cremation and direct burial. These are funereal services where the family is normally not present. Direct cremation would be done at the convenience of the funeral home rather than the family. The same process takes place with direct burial. This way the family is not involved and it is a little less costly as the funeral home can actually set their own timeframe for doing those sorts of things.
