Choosing a funeral parlour
Choose a reliable and reputable funeral parlour that will help you to arrange the funeral.
Planning and organising a funeral can be an overwhelming experience – where do you even start?
Choosing the right funeral parlour can help you in this difficult time. Remember to get quotes from different funeral parlours.
Questions to ask a funeral parlour:
- Do you have a private mortuary facility?
This can help smooth the process of providing a dignified funeral for the deceased. - Can you help with all the legal documents?
Your funeral parlour can help with obtaining all legal and administrative documents, from the Death Certificate to purchasing a grave site.
Insurance with a funeral parlour.
It is important to go through the cover policy with the funeral parlour to see what is covered and what isn’t when planning the funeral. You don’t necessarily need to conduct the funeral with the funeral parlour that issued the policy. They can pay out the insured amount, and you can have the funeral with a different funeral parlour.
Payout times differ from policy to policy, and it may take days, weeks or even months to pay out.
