Immediate need
If a Death Has Just Occurred
Hospital or facility death
Follow the facility’s release instructions first. Once the family chooses Gethers, give staff the correct location and phone number.

Unexpected death
Use 911, law enforcement or coroner instructions as appropriate. Do not move the person unless directed by the proper authority.

Current price request
How to Get Current Gethers Funeral Home Prices
A current public General Price List was not located in the official pages checked for this article. Do not use a third-party estimate or another funeral home’s prices. Call Gethers directly and ask for current itemized price information.
| Ask about | Useful wording | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Basic services fee | “What is your current basic services fee?” | This is often a core arrangement charge. |
| Transfer / removal | “What is the current transfer charge and mileage policy?” | Distance from the place of death can affect cost. |
| Viewing / service | “Please price public viewing, funeral, memorial, chapel and graveside services separately.” | Families may not need every component. |
| Burial or cremation | “What itemized burial and cremation options are available?” | Package totals can hide individual choices. |
| Cash advances | “Which cemetery, obituary, death certificate, permit, clergy, flower or third-party charges are separate?” | These may not be funeral-home service fees. |
| Written statement | “Can I review the itemized written statement before authorizing?” | It helps confirm agreed services and costs. |
Review telephone price rights, the General Price List, casket/container price-list rules and the written itemized statement before final authorization.
