Funeral home scam

Featured Stories

PRESS RELEASE – The staff at Henderson & Sons Funeral Home learned about a recent scam that is targeting grieving families who have recently had a funeral.

Scammers are gathering information from funeral homes’ websites in order to contact these families and ask for additional payment.

These individuals pose as funeral directors from the funeral home the family used, then falsely inform families that more funds are needed for the services completed.

We care about our community, so here are a few things we want you to know.

1. A funeral home will never call you after the funeral asking you for more money.

2. A funeral home will give you an exact price before the funeral. You can then decide to pay in full or explore other options.

3. If you receive a suspicious phone call from a funeral home, tell the caller you will call them right back. Then hang up and call the funeral home yourself to verify if what you’ve been told is true.

Our goal is to protect and support the wonderful families we have the joy of serving. If you have questions or would like to learn more about this scam, call us at 706-291-9855.
