Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Golden Rule funeral home?

Golden Rule funeral homes demonstrate their commitment to funeral service and promise to families through dedication to their communities' needs and to serving each family with the highest integrity and professional standards. Providing service “by the Golden Rule” is the hallmark of Golden Rule funeral homes. Golden Rule funeral homes are locally-owned and family-owned and operated businesses.

Why should I choose a Golden Rule funeral home?

As a child, you were taught to “Do unto others as you would like others to do unto you.” If you are interested in working with fair and honest people who care about you and will strive to meet your wishes, whether it be at your time of need or for pre-arrangements, you want to work with a Golden Rule funeral home where you will find “Service measured not by gold, but by the Golden Rule.”

The funeral or memorial service is a healthy experience that helps begin the healing process. It is a time for family and friends to gather for support and guidance, and to pay tribute to the life of someone close to them. Golden Rule funeral providers listen to your requests and help arrange a meaningful service (whether for a traditional service or cremation) with customized, personal touches. Their priority is to serve you in a timely, efficient and compassionate manner.

How can I find the closest Golden Rule funeral home to me?

There are approximately 1,000 Golden Rule funeral homes throughout North America, and a number of overseas firms as well. Search for a Golden Rule funeral home near you.

What do I do if there is no Golden Rule funeral home in my area?

If you cannot find a Golden Rule funeral home in your vicinity, we suggest asking a nearby Golden Rule firm to recommend a locally-owned funeral home in your area. Often, owners, managers and staff of locally owned businesses know each other — either personally or by reputation. In this way, even if you are not able to find a Golden Rule firm, you at least will be sure you are patronizing a locally-owned funeral home, rather than a funeral home owned by an out-of-town conglomerate.
