Thanks for the tip about considering if you want a funeral home to be close to your home, place of worship, or cemetery. Any one of these things would probably really help make planning a funeral much easier. My mom is getting older and starting to plan her funeral arrangements. When she decides to choose a funeral home, she’ll have to consider the convenience of the location as well.
At my sister’s recent transition (Evangelist Barbara A. Harden), my family and I selected Adams Funeral Services to handle the final arrangements in Georgia. We could not have selected a better funeral home to complete this sensitive task. My sister lived in Boynton Beach, Florida so it was necessary for her husband to make arrangements there for the Florida service and my family and I made arrangements with Adams Funeral Services on this end for the Georgia Service. From our initial contact with Adams Funeral Services to the completion of the Georgia service and viewing, the staff from Adams Funeral Services were professional and sensitive to our needs. Bruce Adams, Amari Adams, Reverend Leroy Pollen and Brenda were all very helpful and supportive to our entire family throughout our time grief and sorrow. The staff at Adams Funeral Services coordinated the services and program extremely well with the Florida funeral home ensuring that there were no glitches. The Georgia service in the Adams Funeral Services Chapel and the viewing for the public after the service was beautiful and everything flowed well. We will forever be grateful to the staff at Adams Funeral Services for making our burdens a little lighter during our time of bereavement due to our great loss. I will miss my sister, but I am satisfied and consoled in knowing that Adams Funeral Services provided the very best services to my sister at her departure. God bless the staff at Adams Funeral Services, Inc.

A crematorium may charge in the region of £700-£1,000. With regards to burial, there are two charges. Firstly, there is the purchase of the grave itself and secondly, the opening of the grave. The purchase of the grave is a one-off payment and can run into thousands of pounds, whilst the opening fee will be for a number of burials and the cost is likely to be hundreds of pounds.
Have you and your family discussed a budget, and decided on an amount that’s affordable for you—that you’re willing and able to spend without hardship? Shopping for a funeral should be like making any major purchase—you know what you can afford before you start shopping. Don’t make the mistake of buying a funeral the way many people do—accepting the funeral home’s price then scrambling to find the money.
