Years ago, families chose funeral homes based on their religion, long-standing family relationships or because they were “the neighborhood” funeral home. As time passed and as families became more mobile, they became less committed to a specific funeral director. Today, it is quite common for us at Fares J. Radel to get calls from families we’ve never heard from before. These are families who either are in immediate need of assistance or who are in pre-planning stages. If you don’t have someone in mind when the need arises, here is a brief checklist to help you when choosing a funeral home.
Do you they have solid reputation in the community? Not many are going to have the over 100 years of experience we have at Fares J. Radel Funeral Home. The fact is, it can be comforting to choose a funeral home with a long-standing reputation serving families in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area.
Do they have a private crematory? Selecting a funeral home with their own private crematory helps minimize any chance cremains may be switched. At Fares J. Radel, once we accept your loved one they stay with us. There is zero chance there would be a mix up.
Can they accommodate your wishes? Do they have the physical facilities you need to accommodate your specific services? At Fares J. Radel, we are pleased to offer use of our modern, banquet facilities to larger groups.
Do they offer services that go above and beyond? Some funeral homes offer the bare necessities. At Fares J. Radel, we are proud to offer exceptional personal service. In fact, we will even come to your home to help facilitate planning. We can help direct you when it comes to veteran’s benefits, life insurance and other matters related to the passing of a loved one. We are here for you every step of the way.
Are they progressive? Many families today are in search of a funeral director that is open minded enough assist them in unique, personalized services. At Fares J. Radel, we have facilitated some very unique but respectful services. We welcome families who want personalized services and will do our best to facilitate each request.
