Plan your trip
Good to know
- Arrive the day before if you can. Services often start in the morning, and a delayed flight is hard to make up.
- Book changeable rates. Funeral dates sometimes move, especially in the first days.
- Ask for a group rate. If several relatives are coming, one call to a hotel near the funeral home can get everyone the same lower rate.
- Check the family’s wishes before sending flowers. Some families ask for donations instead.
