Choosing and comparing a funeral home
Choosing a funeral home is one of the first decisions after the death of a loved one. A professional funeral home handles practical arrangements from transporting the deceased to organising the funeral and supports the bereaved during a difficult time. Several funeral homes operate in Finland, offering varying ranges of services.
Compare services and request an itemised quote from at least two providers. The price list must be public and the contract written. Below you will find guides for choosing a funeral home as well as city-specific information to help you find a suitable service provider.
