I bought Harry W. Moore Funeral Chapels from a large company, September 15, 2001. Since then, we have repositioned the company by downsizing to one location and opening Indiana Funeral Care to offer funerals and cremation services at much lower prices than traditional funeral homes serving central Indiana. We are very fortunate to have Joel, Colleen, Sara, Leanne, Tom, Jeff, Jim, Martin and Chris working together to assist families at a very difficult time in their lives. Indiana Funeral Care is growing rapidly and we are grateful to have the opportunity to serve more families each year. Prior to buying the business that was previously owned by my uncle, Harry, I worked for the family business, a large funeral service company and the Keystone Group, Tampa, Florida.
I am married to Lyn, an RN and case manager. Josh, my eldest son, just graduated from college, works in medical research at IU/Riley Hospital and hopes to attend medical school in the fall of 2009. Matt is a senior at IU and has accepted a position as an assistant buyer for American Eagle Outfitters in Pittsburgh in July, 2009. I am very proud of both of my sons!

After experiencing the recent death of a close friend in Florida, she wanted to pre-arrange her parents cremation and shopped traditional funeral homes in Indianapolis. She was stunned by high price quotes for cremation in the Indianapolis area, so she Googled "cheap cremations Indiana". She asked why the Indiana Funeral Care cost was so much lower. We don't have multi-million dollar funeral homes scattered all around Indianapolis. Just one very nice funeral home and a brand new crematory.

Beware of most low cost cremation advertisements. Many advertise cheap cremations Indiana, but add on for basic services such as transportation from place of death, crematory fees, document courier fees, cremation containers, etc. Indiana Funeral Care simple cremation costs $890 and includes all basic services except for charges from outside sources that we cannot control (death certificates and obituaries).

We accept all Pre Planned Funerals, regardless of the trust, insurance company or originating funeral home. Many people are discouraged when they find our prices to be much less expensive than those already arranged and paid for. Funeral trusts transferred to Indiana Funeral Care will likely result in a nice refund to the family at the time of service.

A recent caller searching for Low Cost Caskets found that our service prices were far lower than the funeral home they had selected. Another family trying to save money bought a casket online, but found the funeral home they were using was still too expensive. They eventually changed to us and found that our American made Low Cost Caskets were about the same price as what they had already paid online for a casket made in China.

Looking for a more casual experience in a Funeral Home Indianapolis Indiana? Our expanded reception area will be great for our guests. The Harry W. Moore Funeral Home on Allisonville Road looks and feels more like a hotel lobby than a funeral home. Most families feel comfortable turning a visitation into a reception with food and we supply the soft drinks, bottled water and fresh baked cookies. The reception area was nice but is now doubled in size and will be completely remodeled within weeks. Low casket and service prices combined with beautiful and comfortable facilities make this the best value for a Funeral Home Indianapolis Indiana.

Others advertise cheap cremations in Indiana, but none with the level of service we offer. We are anxious for the opening for our new crematory, anticipated completion date is July 15, 2009.

Several casket stores have come and gone in Indianapolis. Costco continues to sell caskets, but according to a friend that works there, he has not seen much demand or interest. As far as cheap caskets Indianapolis, they are hard to find. Indiana Funeral Care prices it's caskets at prices much lower than other funeral homes in Indianapolis....and they are American made! Some funeral homes in Indianapolis have started selling caskets made in China, which is okay, I guess. But due to the number of veterans funeral services we perform and just plain old patriotic feelings, we have stayed with American manufacturers. The price is fair, the quality is dependable and consistent and we can obtain just about any color or material in 24 hours.

Most veterans have no idea that VA National Cemeteries offer a free grave, free opening and closing of the grave, free outer burial container and free marker for the veteran AND spouse. When people are planning funerals for veterans, they should at least consider a National Cemetery. An honorable and beautiful place for burial and they will save thousands of dollars.

People searching for Indiana Discount Funerals want to make their own informed decisions. Most people want to make a purchase decision based on facts and not what a funeral director talks them into. When consumers go to Lowes or Home Depot, they make a purchase decision on their own based on product information on the box and on price. If they want advice, they ask for it. Consumers visit www.indianafuneralcare.com and find complete and understandable funeral and cremation service details and price information. If they have questions, they call.

Hanging out at the VFW Post #10003 last night at the reception to honor Del Waugh, a member's wife said her husband understood that VA Funerals were paid for by the VA until just recently. When they asked a local funeral home about VA benefits, they responded that they did not know, but would look into it. We can clarify VA Funeral benefits in advance with just a call. Now that he realized that there is not such thing as VA Funerals and that the benefits would not cover the cost, he wants to preplan his funeral.

A caller pleaded that someone has to offer discount cremations in Indiana! She had called several funeral homes looking for low price or discount cremations with no success. One had quoted the price of the cremation for $1,400, plus a container for $125, plus the cremation fee of $300, plus, plus plus! Another said they could save her lots of money over a regular funeral and their price was $2,995. When I told her our price is $890, she responded, "Plus what? What are the ad ons?" When she realized the price is $890 complete, she replied, "Now that's more like it! An honest up front, no frills company that offers discount cremations!"

Cremation in Indiana is growing to a level of acceptance among a broad spectrum of families. With cremation, distraught family members and close friends seem to be able to focus more on the life lived, than the body of the deceased. I witnessed such a meaningful service for a well loved young man, attended by so many that were so deeply touched!

After witnessing the funeral at the Indiana War Memorial this week, I cannot think of a more fitting location for funerals for veterans. The grandeur, history and significance of the Indiana War Memorial is inspiring and makes attendees proud and appreciative of the dedication and commitment to our country of our veterans. It doesn't seem so much like a funeral, but more an expression of gratitude and celebration of an unselfish life lived and gift given!

Lady at the Senior Expo today told me she wished she had known about the Indiana Church Funeral Plan before she had pre planned funerals for herself and her husband. She was surprised to learn that pre planned funerals could be transferred and done so easily. She was also surprised that since we offer low price funerals that the excess would be refunded to her family at the time of service. She asked that we assist her with the transfer and we are pleased to assist!
