Funerals 4 Less Mourn your loved one, not the funeral bill.
Q. What does Funerals 4 Less do? A. Funerals 4 Less contracts with local mortuaries that provide dignified funerals for significantly less money than most funeral homes charge for the very same service. Our staff of caring professionals is trained to empower you with the information you will need to make good decisions during the process of arranging a funeral. Q. Do you take care of everything necessary to prepare for a funeral? A. We do everything a typical funeral home and their directors would do. We have the deceased transferred to a nearby funeral home preparation room; we prepare the deceased for the visitation (if there is a visitation) and service; we have all of the necessary paperwork and authorizations filed, order the grave to be opened at the cemetery, order the hearse and limousine (if desired), coordinate with the clergy, etc.. We take care of everything that needs to be taken care of for you. Q. Where are the funeral homes located? A. We can arrange and conduct funerals practically anywhere. Because we do not own a large and costly building, we can keep our overhead down and pass these savings on to you. Q. What if I want a visitation-where can it be held? A. Visitations can be provided either in a house of worship prior to the funeral mass, in your home, and in some cases, at the funeral home you desire. Q. How can I have a visitation at the funeral home I desire if I elect to use your service? A. Many funeral homes allow outside funeral directors, like Funerals 4 Less, to rent their facilities as a professional courtesy. Depending upon their charge for doing so and their availability, we can utilize the funeral home you wish but have our staff of directors supervise. Q. We anticipate a very small turnout. What if we want a simple service? A. You may choose to have a ceremony without a viewing directly at the cemetery gravesite or in a house of worship. Or, you may opt for a direct burial or cremation with no ceremony-the most economical form of disposition. Q. How much money can I expect to save using Funerals 4 Less? A. $$Hundreds to Thousands. Our staff will work with you every step of the way to ensure you get the most dignified funeral possible for your loved one, only for significantly less than you would have paid walking into your neighborhood funeral home. There are numerous cost-saving options available to you when making funeral arrangements. We will advise you of them. Q. How can your cost be so much less expensive than other funeral homes and still provide a dignified funeral service? A. First of all, we have formed and alliance with Payless Caskets. Because their caskets are 1/3 to 1/2 off what the price funeral homes normally charge, you will save a great deal right there. Additionally, because we do not operate out of a large funeral home with all of its attendant costs, our overhead is very low. We are then able to pass these savings on to you. You end up with all of the benefits of using a typical funeral home, yet you will only pay about half the cost. Q. Do you service all faiths? A. Yes. No matter what origin, culture or religion you are, we can handle your service needs. Different cultures have different requirements but we can accommodate almost anyones special needs. Q. What if our loved one is out of town? What do we do? A. Just call us and we will handle everything-from transportation back to the local area to having a service out of state. Q. What about cremations? A. We can provide either direct cremations or cremations with a ceremony. Q. Do you offer preplanning? A. We not only offer pre-planning in advance, we encourage it. It elininates the burden from your loved ones, insures that you get the type of service that you want, and enables you to secure your services for today’s prices. The most in-opt time to make funeral arrangements is when a loved one has passed away. Pre-planning in advance gives you a chance to make good wise decisions. Waiting until you absolutely must take care of this can prove extremely stressful and rather costly. Q. How can I learn more? A. To learn more, please call us at (310) 316-1373. We are available six days a week to assist you. One of our staff personnel will be glad to answer all of your questions.
