Verification adds evidence, not just more text or a different badge. The public audit should identify what was checked, when it was checked, the result, and any limits. Owner statements outside that scope remain labeled as reported.
License & ownership
We collect: Establishment license, responsible professional, legal business name, and ownership or chain affiliation.
We check: Compare licensing and ownership details with the relevant public records.
Families see: License identity, ownership information, sources, and audit findings.
Prices & additional charges
We collect: Current dated General Price List, package inclusions and exclusions, and redacted examples of recent charges. Family-identifying information is not for publication.
We check: Compare sampled charges with the published list and document differences.
Families see: Price-list date, available pricing documents, what is included, and the scope of the pricing check.
Facilities & services
We collect: Chapel capacity, arrangement rooms, accessibility details, service options, and whether cremation is on-site or provided by another business.
We check: Check the specific facility and service claims; identify anything that remains unconfirmed.
Families see: Practical facility details and clearly labeled service arrangements.
People & credentials
We collect: Names and roles of the staff presented on the profile, professional credentials, and the family’s main contact.
We check: Check relevant licensed professionals against state records.
Families see: Staff introductions, roles, and the credentials actually checked.
Authentic photos
We collect: Current photos of the actual premises and spaces families will use.
We check: Confirm that the images represent this facility. Stock imagery does not verify a building.
Families see: A useful gallery with clear captions and photo-verification findings.
Verification is a paid, optional service. Payment does not guarantee a passing audit or buy placement. It does not assess the quality of care or guarantee a family’s experience.
