Frequently Asked Questions

When it Simply Matters Most…Glen Forest Cemetery has been Yellow Springs and Miami Township’s premier cemetery for nearly 200 years.

Is it required by law that a person has to be embalmed?

Generally, embalming is not required by law. However, many states do require a body to be embalmed or refrigerated within a certain period of time after death has occurred. Some funeral homes may have an embalming requirement for certain types of arrangements, such as when there will be a public viewing of the deceased. You always have the option of selecting an immediate disposition arrangement that does not require embalming.

What happens when someone dies while out of town?

Funeral directors work together every day to coordinate the shipment of human remains between cities, states and countries. If someone dies while out of town, contact the funeral director in your home town. He or she can work with a local funeral director and the authorities where the death occurred to make arrangements to bring your loved one home . If the death occurs in a city where you or someone you trust is familiar with a local funeral home, you can always contact them for assistance.

What determines the cost of a funeral?

The cost of a funeral is determined by the type of service selected. If your arrangements involve the selection of a casket or outer burial container you will be shown a price list for each prior to making a selection. Be sure to ask any questions you may have, your funeral director is there to help ensure you are comfortable with your selections.
