Montana funeral home considerations

When someone passes away suddenly you often need to make lots of tricky decisions in a limited amount of time. To give you a helpful insight, funeralconsult.com has come up with a list of the most important aspects you need to think about when planning a funeral in Montana. The first decision you need to make is if you want a burial or cremation - this decision depends on the preference of the family and close friends and the amount of money available for the service - for example, burials require the purchase of land, a grave stone and a casket compared with a single urn with a cremation.

Next you must decide whether to opt for a religious or secular service - once again this depends on the wishes on the family. Generally speaking, very often religious funerals tend to be longer in duration than secular services because of the prayers and hymns that may have to sung. Other crucial elements which need to be carefully considered include the music, the flowers and the transport which will transport close family and friends to and from the funeral venue.

And lastly, you need to think about any special requests the deceased may have had - this can range from the bizarre to the sentimental and although it might seem odd to you, it was what they said they wanted so as a last request it's important you do as they asked.

Montana funeral homes - The Funeral Rule

The Funeral Rule is a famous law enforced by the US Federal Trade Commission that all Montana funeral homes and parlours must adhere to. In general terms, the law has been designed to offer protection to customers when planning a funeral service in any US city or state. Under the rule, Montana funeral directors have certain obligations to the customer and they in turn have certain rights.

First passed in 1984, the rule was implemented to stop Montana funeral parlours exploiting customers in their time of need. Under the 1984 Funeral Rule, consumers are entitled to pick the services they want, however they are still allowed to purchase a Montana funeral package pre-arranged by the home if they wish. When requested, funeral houses in Montana must provide consumers with a price list and must not tell a customer something is a legal requirement if it is not.

Montana funeral homes must also provide information on embalming, urns and caskets before presenting examples to the customer. As part of the rule, consumers are also entitled to purchase their own coffin or casket separately from other sources and funeral homes in Montana can not refuse to use them.
