Frequently Asked Questions

Your most-asked questions, answered.

Understanding Funeral Concierge Services

A funeral concierge is an independent professional who provides unbiased guidance and logistical support during the funeral planning process. Unlike a funeral home, Laurel works directly for the family to coordinate arrangements, manage costs, and handle the hundreds of small details that arise when a loved one passes, allowing you to focus on grieving rather than administration. Andrew is a licensed funeral director and has over two decades of assisting families with funeral arrangements during one of the most difficult times of their lives.

No, Laurel is a full-service funeral concierge and-of-life consulting company. We are not a funeral home and do not provide mortuary services directly. Instead, we act as your advocate and project manager, working alongside your chosen funeral care provider, cemetery, and clergy to ensure every detail is handled according to your wishes.

While funeral homes handle the care of the deceased, Laurel handles the care of the family. We provide independent education on all your options—including non-traditional and alternative services—that a single funeral home may not offer. We help prevent “emotional overspending” and handle the “after-care” tasks that funeral homes typically do not manage, such as closing accounts and notifying agencies.

Pre-Planning

Our pre-planning service creates a comprehensive “End of Life Organizer.” This includes securing vital information regarding legal and financial matters, estate planning details, health information, and specific final wishes. We help you simplify the “paperwork of life” so your family isn’t left guessing during a crisis. Laurel also helps locate a local funeral service provider and coordinates all the tours and logistics should you wish to pre-fund your funeral with a local service provider. Check out the full details here.

Yes. We specialize in religious, non-religious, and alternative funeral options. Whether you are interested in a green burial, a home funeral, or a unique celebration of life at a non-traditional venue, we provide the resources and coordination to make it happen.

Starting the conversation is often the hardest part. Laurel provides guidance and tools to facilitate these discussions comfortably. Our goal is to turn a difficult topic into a gift of clarity for your loved ones.

Support at Time of Passing

If you are in the Greater Kansas City area, your first step is to call Laurel. We immediately take over the logistics: coordinating with the funeral provider, notifying family and friends, and drafting the obituary. We act as your single point of contact to reduce overwhelm. We take care of the details so you can focus on what matters most at this time; YOU.

We work independently with any funeral service provider, cemetery, or florist of your choice. Because we are unaffiliated with any specific provider, our only priority is advocating for your family’s best interests and budget. Laurel has vetted funeral service providers in the Kansas City Metro Area and can answer any questions that you may have regarding certain service providers.

Yes. We assist in preparing and death notices or obituaries and can handle the communication with designated friends and family via phone or email to ensure everyone is informed before a public announcement.

After-Care Essentials

After-care involves the practical business tasks that follow a death. This includes obtaining death certificates, notifying financial institutions and credit card companies, managing digital assets (like social media), and transferring or closing utility accounts and subscriptions. Check out the full details here.

Yes. One of our specialized services is helping families navigate the “digital estate,” which includes protecting and redeeming credit card points, closing online accounts, and securing the decedent’s digital legacy.
