Omega Funeral Consulting   -  Your Compassionate Funeral Consulting Partner

Embarking on the journey of handling the complexities of death, one of life's most profound experiences, demands the unwavering focus of a dedicated practitioner.

​

Before entrusting cremation or burial funeral services to a chosen funeral home or cemetery,

whether it's a prearranged decision or an urgent need, it is highly recommended for families

to have a discussion with an independent and licensed funeral advisor.

​

At Omega Funeral Consulting, we are a dedicated consultation firm, offering families valuable advice and guidance tailored to their specific needs. We are not a funeral home or cemetery; instead, our focus is on empowering you with the information and support necessary to make informed decisions as you approach the funeral home or cemetery of your choice.

​

When you make the initial call to a funeral home, remember that every inquiry is an opportunity.

 

Funeral Home employees are skilled in fostering trust-building conversations, capturing the call,

and making it more likely for families to opt for that particular funeral home as their service provider.

​

Where is the freedom to choose when you're being influenced right from the very first call?

​

We are here to guide you through your journey, helping you navigate your needs and offer insights into questions you may not even realize you need to ask.

​

The ultimate goal is to empower you as an informed family, enabling you to pose the right questions and make the best decisions for your loved ones.
