A funeral home, mortuary, or chapel expects to be paid in full at the arrangement time by check or credit card. Most funeral homes will also take an insurance assignment as a form of payment as well.
A funeral home will state that they expect payment in full when services are rendered. It is easier to handle payment at the arrangement conference because there is no surprises and if one can not afford the arrangements that would be the time to make necessary funeral arrangement changes.
This is a great reason to pre pay your funeral arrangements. If one makes pre paid arrangements this discussion is already taken care of.
