Fraud Alert

In this scam, individuals pretending to be representatives of a funeral home contact the deceased’s family and may request, or even demand, some form of payment before services can proceed, or may request personal information about the decedent.If you receive a call from an individual claiming to be a funeral home employee who is attempting to gather financial and/or personal information, please consider the following:

Refuse payment and NEVER disclose credit/debit card numbers, banking information, social security numbers or a date of birth.

Let them know that you will follow-up directly with the funeral home, end the call, and then call the funeral home using a number you know to be legitimate.

Feel free to end the call without explanation if it appears suspicious or to be a scam.

We regret that we must make you aware of such a scam, but feel that by sharing this issue, you will be more prepared should you be contacted.

Respectfully,
