Funeral Home Reputations Get Negative Press

Over the past several months, it seems like funeral homes have been getting more and more bad press. There was, of course, the funeral home that is reported to have cremated bodies that were supposed to be buried, in order to save expenses, and there have been many other incidents in recent days.

For example, there is the Boston funeral home that is accused of reselling caskets. The funeral manager is reported to have removed a woman’s body from her casket at the grave site, and then removed the casket and sold it to another person.

In South Carolina, there is a story that is even more disturbing. There, funeral home personnel are accused of actually cutting the legs off of one of the deceased in order to fit the six foot seven inch man into a casket.

In times like these, it is important to remember just how important a reputation of integrity and honest is for a funeral director. The vast majority of funeral directors don’t engage in these horrific practices, and it is unfortunate when one bad apple brings such a cloud of disrepute on an entire industry.

Honesty, transparency and integrity are essential qualities of any successful funeral home or funeral director.
