Today we are seeing an increase in phone calls regarding the price of funerals. 

Because funeral homes are not alike you may be receiving numbers over the phone that mislead or are just incorrect.

If price is the motivating factor in the selection of your funeral home we suggest you follow these simple rules.

• Take all the time you need for this decision
• Make appointments at all of the funeral homes (plan at least 1 hour per firm and let them know you are considering other firms)
• Tour the facilities (how does it make you feel, is it comforting)
• Interview the staff that will be working with you (how do you think you will be served)
• Ask for a detailed description of costs based on a funeral plan (compare apples to apples)
• Ask what additional services are available or included in the service costs
• Compare  the same merchandise at each firm
• Base your final decision on where you think you will receive the best value

The funeral event is a one-time event.  You do not get second chances, there are no warranties and there are no returns.  It is a major event that happens to every one of us and like any major event requires time and advance planning

At Anthony Funeral Chapel we know that you come first.  We know how we compare with other firms in the area and we can show you the differences.  We are flexible, family owned and highly regarded in the profession (ask the people we’ve served).

We believe you will not find a greater value anywhere else and that is our guarantee.

We have a sound system to aid the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
