Current Prices, Immediate Need and Pre-Planning

This guide does not quote package prices because current itemized funeral costs must be confirmed directly with the funeral home. Blakely’s official pre-planning page says to call 864-488-1141 to set up an appointment.

  1. Call Blakely Funeral Home. Explain whether this is immediate need, cremation, burial, pre-planning, or a service question.
  2. Ask for current itemized prices. Request pricing for the specific goods and services being considered.
  3. Separate outside charges. Cemetery, clergy, flowers, obituary publication, certified death certificates, and cash advances may be separate.
  4. Check family wishes before ordering flowers. The obituary may request memorial donations instead of flowers.
  5. Review the FTC Funeral Rule. It explains federal funeral price-disclosure rights.

South Carolina Death Certificates

An obituary is not a certified death certificate. For a death that occurred in South Carolina, the South Carolina Department of Public Health Vital Records Office is the official state route for certified death records.

South Carolina DPH Vital Records

DPH states that Vital Records maintains and issues records for births, deaths, marriages, and divorces that occurred in South Carolina.

Open South Carolina Death Certificates

Before you request

Prepare the decedent’s legal name, date and place of death, your identification, and proof of relationship or eligibility if required.

Open SC Vital Records
  1. Confirm where the death occurred. Use South Carolina DPH only for South Carolina vital events.
  2. Ask whether certificates were already ordered. Families often request certified copies during funeral arrangements.
  3. Open the official DPH death-certificate page. Review current ordering methods, fees, ID rules, and processing options.
  4. Use certified copies for legal tasks. Banks, insurance, benefits, and estates usually require certified records, not an obituary printout.

Estate and Probate Questions in Cherokee County

Funeral arrangements and estate administration are separate. Cherokee County states that its Probate Court has jurisdiction over the administration of decedents’ estates. The correct probate county is usually tied to the deceased person’s legal residence, not just the funeral home used.

Cherokee County Probate CourtUse the official county probate page for estate questions and contact details.
Estate mattersThe county notes that probate includes estates, wills, testate and intestate estates, and small estate affidavits.
Call firstThe county estates page says to contact the office during business hours for more information or to schedule an appointment.
Bring basicsCertified death certificate, will if one exists, ID, and a preliminary list of assets and debts are commonly needed.
