Church Funerals Direct
Preferred Partner
Church Funerals Direct began with the goal to make the funeral experience better for the grieving family that just lost a loved one. At the time of loss, the last thing someone wants to do is go down to the funeral home and have to plan and coordinate everything. By utilizing experienced directors to handle the arrangements the process becomes as seamless as possible. They also found that many families preferred the comfort of having the funeral at a more uplifting location such as their local church, club or park. All the traditional, complete funeral services you’re accustomed to at a greatly reduced cost. As a preferred partner we are now able to offer a substantial discount to our members during the Pre-Planning process.
