Making funeral arrangements can be a difficult and stressful time. You may suddenly find yourself required to make any number of plans without having had much time to prepare yourself. And you may be dealing with a range of emotions at the same time, including the experience of grief and loss. While friends and family can provide essential support, you also need a funeral home committed to making your life easier. If you or someone you know is looking for funeral homes in Indianapolis, IN, you should find some comfort in knowing that professionals in your area are prepared to take some of the load off of your shoulders. 

At O’Riley - Branson Funeral Service & Crematory, we take every family’s needs seriously and aim to provide them with the best possible service. Since 1971, we have made it our priority to address those needs with a great deal of compassion. We can’t directly know what each and every family is going through, but we do know these are difficult times.

How do you know you’ve found the right funeral home? 

It is certainly wise to begin with a phone call and determine whether or not that funeral home is a good fit for your needs and interests. Can they accommodate the kind of services you’re looking for? Does their staff seem professional and committed? Are they equipped to provide you with the kinds of items (caskets or urns, for example) that you may be looking for? Once you have gotten a basic feel for the funeral home in question, there is really no substitute for meeting in person. You will want to discuss things in more detail, determine what the funeral home needs from you in terms of information, and get a better sense of the people with whom you’ll be working. 

Ultimately, it is important that you can trust your funeral home to come through and deliver on your requests. It is incredibly important to us that wishes are honored and that the eventual service reflect those wishes in every possible respect. Achieving that kind of outcome often means that you should be somewhat involved, at least and with respect to explaining the kind of expectations you may have. That said, you should not find yourself bending over backwards to handle every single aspect of the planning process. That’s what funeral homes and for, and we take our jobs very seriously. You should be safely able to rely on your funeral home, and that’s our ultimate goal.
