Question 1

What is the difference between a funeral and a memorial service?

Accepted Answer

A funeral typically involves the body present, either in an open or closed casket, while a memorial service is held after the body has been buried or cremated and does not involve the remains. Unity Funeral Home can help you choose the format that best honors your loved one's wishes and your family's needs.

Question 2

How long does the funeral planning process take?

Accepted Answer

The timeline depends on your family's needs and circumstances. A traditional funeral is typically held within 3–7 days of death. Direct cremation can be arranged within 24–48 hours. Unity Funeral Home's staff will work with you to accommodate your schedule and any religious or cultural requirements.

Question 3

Does Unity Funeral Home offer payment plans?

Accepted Answer

Many Houston funeral homes, including Unity Funeral Home, offer financing options or payment plans through third-party providers. It's best to ask about these options upfront during your initial consultation. Pre-paid funeral plans can also be arranged, which protect you from future price increases.

Question 4

What is the General Price List (GPL) and can I get one from Unity Funeral Home?

Accepted Answer

Under the FTC's Funeral Rule, funeral homes are legally required to provide an itemized General Price List to anyone who asks, either in person or over the phone. You can contact Unity Funeral Home directly to request their current GPL before making any decisions.
