Most people need help making funeral arrangements. Obvious sources of help are family, friends, members of the clergy, and hospital social workers. But specialized organizations can help as well.
Checklist of Tasks to Perform After a Death
After a loved one dies, in addition to planning the funeral itself, a number of associated details require attention. Friends, coworkers, and fellow congregants can play a major role in relieving the bereaved family of many of these tasks.
Selecting a Funeral Home
Our ratings of area funeral homes will help you find a firm you can trust. We advise that you never go by yourself to a funeral home to choose services. Take along a less-involved companion to assure you that sensible decisions are made.
Options for Body Disposition After Death

How to Pay for a Funeral
