Planning a funeral is a task that most of us will have to face, whether that be making difficul 'at-need' choices or pre-planning for yourself or a loved one. With countless questions that need answers in a short time frame, it's important to find a professional that will offer counsel and provide resources efficiently while making arrangements.
When we experience the loss of a loved one, we also experience grief. For children, the death of a loved one can be an especially confusing and painful experience. Grieving often requires time, counsel and focus. Time can ease the grieving process and allow us to accept or adapt to the loss. As a parent, the best thing you can do is to guide your child in emotional development throughout the grief process.
Many funeral providers offer various "packages" of goods and services. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, wants you to know that when you arrange for a funeral, you have the right to buy goods and services separately. You do not have to accept a package that includes items you do not want.
A cornerstone of IFDF's member benefits is the I-Trust program. This program was uniquely designed to financially support and perpetuate independent funeral homes, crematory and cemetery firms in Florida. Through the I-Trust, Firm Members have access to the lowest rates and highest level of service in pre-need trusting.
