First and foremost David Poisson, is a kind and caring easy to talk to funeral director and he will be the only person I will contact when the need arises.
Recently I had the task of planning my terminally ill father's funeral arrangements. Never having had to do this before and having the advantage of not having an immediate need, I was able to contact multiple funeral homes.
I knew that my dad wanted to be cremated, and my mother and I opted for "direct cremation" the process of when your loved one dies at home, hospice etc. the funeral home picks up the deceased and after the required state mandated wait time the funeral home then performs the cremation and contacts you when the cremains are ready for pick up typically 5-7 days.
First I contacted the funeral home where my family has done all funerals since at least 1974 they quoted me over twice the price that I had received at Rushlow Iaccoi. I also contacted another funeral home whose price was still $1800 more than Rushlow. That being said when the first once called me back and I explained that I had received a quote of less than half their price and I quote " I can match anyone's price" but by law they have to give you their "list price" I was almost at a loss for words, then I responded thank you but I'd rather not have to negotiate a funeral like buying a car.
My recommendation is pre plan if you can, but either way go to Rushlow Iaccoi.
They are my funeral home of choice!
Thanks, Dave read more
