Question 1

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. East Haven Funeral Home's staff will work with you to accommodate your schedule and any religious or cultural requirements.

Question 2

What is the General Price List (GPL) and can I get one from East Haven 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 East Haven Funeral Home directly to request their current GPL before making any decisions.

Question 3

How far in advance should I contact East Haven Funeral Home?

Accepted Answer

If you're pre-planning, you can contact East Haven Funeral Home at any time — many families arrange services months or years ahead to lock in current pricing and ease the burden on loved ones later. In the event of an immediate need, most funeral homes in Houston are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Question 4

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. East Haven Funeral Home can help you choose the format that best honors your loved one's wishes and your family's needs.
