BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Know what to look for
Compare the service, the evidence behind its claims, and the terms that matter to your family.
A public listing is not a recommendation. Claimed details come from the owner. Read an individual audit to understand the scope and date of any verified checks; a badge is not a guarantee of service.
Read our standards and sources
RULES & SOURCE GUIDANCE
Understand which requirements apply
For covered funeral providers, the Funeral Rule protects itemized choices and price information. Confirm the responsible provider, applicable professional licensing and authorization requirements for the service being arranged. FTC: the Funeral Rule.
This is introductory guidance, not a complete review of every Illinois or local rule. A source may describe national guidance or professional standards rather than a legal requirement. Explore Illinois guidance.
PARTINGPOINT STANDARDS · PROPOSED FOR REVIEW
The evidence we propose requiring
These are our proposed review criteria, separate from legal requirements. Publishing them does not certify existing listings or change their badges.
- Identification and authorization
- Review the documented identification process, authorization forms and chain of custody.
- Actual crematory and total price
- Identify any partner crematory and itemize transport, permits, containers and return options.
- Identity and relevant credentials
- Record the responsible business or organization and service area. Check applicable licenses with the issuer and distinguish mandatory permissions from voluntary training or membership.
- Clear terms and a contact for concerns
- Keep dated service terms, charges or eligibility information, cancellation arrangements where relevant, and a named route for questions and complaints.
Keep evidence current
Record the source, date checked, scope and any expiry. Missing evidence remains unverified. We propose rechecking dated or expiring information and removing affected verification claims when evidence is no longer valid. These are proposed editorial controls, not an automated renewal system.
Payment or claiming a listing does not satisfy these checks. Any future recommendation would require separately published criteria.
QUESTIONS TO ASK
A useful starting conversation
- How is identity tracked from collection to the return of ashes?
- Who performs the cremation, and what is the full price?
