When funeral arrangements must unexpectedly be made away from home, and family hearts are filled with mixed emotions, it is difficult to consider costs. If you want to limit costs, the best practice is to contact the funeral firm in the area where the funeral service and burial is to take place.
WHAT TO DO FIRST
CALL THOMAS MCAFEE FUNERAL HOME AT (864) 232-6733 or (864) 294-6415 day or night.
We take charge from then on and make all the arrangements for conveying of the deceased to the local funeral home for embalming and preparation for return to Greenville. You only need contact us with some basic information and call us when you return to Greenville to set a time for an arrangement conference.
The standard receiving policy in most other funeral homes is to give you a credit for the embalming against their standard prices. You must pay all other charges such as transfer casket, transfer container, out-of-town funeral home facilities, professional and staff services, transfer documents and transportation charges.
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
If a family member dies while traveling outside the United States, the U.S. Embassy will come to your assistance. You should call us immediately when a death occurs abroad. We are well-versed in the procedures for returning the deceased to the United States.
OTHER CONDITIONS
If the death occurs outside of the forty-eight contiguous states or your family has already engaged another funeral firm, Thomas McAfee Funeral Home will apply liberal credits to services provided by others when selecting one of our complete full-service funerals. Our membership in the Selected Independent Funeral Homes and National Funeral Directors Association provide us with funeral service contacts world wide.
