Financial Scams Targeting Families and Funeral Homes

As we have been reporting for some time, scams are impacting families during their time of grief.  We strongly encourage you to inform the families you serve of your funeral home's policies/billing practices and remind them to not give any information to individuals contacting them for payments or refunds.  Instead they should hang up and directly contact your funeral home, especially when asked for payment.  We also encourage a statement on your funeral home's website.  Your staff should also be aware that scams are impacting funeral homes.  Always confirm any requests for services outside of the arrangements directly with the family you are serving.  If a family you serve or your funeral home has been impacted or has information about any contact of this nature, they should contact their local authorities to report the incident.  Additional ways to report:

Georgia Funeral Directors Association (GFDA) has resources available for you to help you gain an understanding of the funeral process, to help families plan in advance, and deal with the closure of significant relationships in their lives.

Grievances

If you have a complaint against a funeral director or a funeral establishment, we encourage you to discuss the issue with the funeral director and/or management of the funeral establishment. If this is not acceptable, contact the Georgia State Board of Funeral Service which administers the Funeral Service Law.

Note: Our office (GFDA) cannot accept complaints as we are not the licensing/regulatory agency.
