I had the privilege of working one black funeral in 20 years. I can honestly say, they care more for their deceased in a different way. It was very enlightening

A lot of times money plays a major factor also. Unfortunately black funeral homes often charge substantially less and give a lot more service in many cases😔

If you’re not respected in life, nothing changes in DEATH. The REMAINS of the people of COLOR were disrespected as well with the FAMILY. THE BLACK FUNERAL HOME HAVE EXCELLED IN SERVING ITS COMMUNITY.

But people and families are loyal to their funeral homes too so they keep going back because grandpa was there and great grandpa was there

Becouse black folks will treat our loved ones with care and becouse we would like to be buried by our families and loved ones

It’s also kind of a tradition now. My family has been using the same funeral home and cemetery for many years.

White funerals don’t have men dancing down the aisle to put a crown on the dearly departed.

Not self-segregating as you suggest, but out of necessity. Wyt funeral homes would literally not serve Black families or would not treat them with respect. Post official segregation, Black funeral homes were located in Black communities whereas wyt homes were on wyt sides of town and catered to wyt people.

When you look at it, we just have cultural differences in the way we mourn. It’s more personal to us.

The black funeral homes around where I'm from place a red light at the families home. Do you know what it means? White funeral homes don't do it around here. I've asked this before and nobody answered it on Facebook

And then there are the Funeral Homes that don’t know the difference between a Christian funeral and a Catholic funeral

Gee I thought this was only in the south. So, is this everywhere? I mean here (in south) we have black and white churches. But kinda mixed funeral homes. Never been to an ALL black funeral home. But then I’m white. But is this everywhere or just the south?

When I was growing up in NYC, most AA's used funeral homes in Harlem to do final arrangements for their loved ones.
