Paul Funeral Home offers a full range of service items for your selection. We are able to assist the family in creating a service that is meaningful and affordable.
The total funeral expenses will be the sum of all service items selected from the GPL, the casket, vault (or urn) and sales tax. Cash advance items may be added such as opening and closing of the grave, paid obituaries, honorariums, flowers and certified copies of the death certificate.
When arranging a funeral with PFH, we do our best to personalize the service as much as possible.
Paul Funeral Home can also assist with the purchase of a marker, mausoleum, grave ledger, or cutting the date of death on an existing monument. Your funeral director will assist your needs in this area as well.
Our staff will assist with providing the following:
We will notify Social Security of a death. This will aid in discontinuing monthly checks. If you are entitled to benefits, please call Social Security at 252-946-0117 or 1-800-772-1213.
We will file applications for a flag, marker and cash burial benefits. If you have questions about dependent and/or survivor benefits, call the Beaufort County Veterans Service Officer at 252-946-8016. We can install the VA marker in most cemeteries for a nominal fee. You must have a copy of the DD-214, Honorable Discharge Form, to make application for any Veteran’s benefits.
Insurance companies generally require claimant’s statements and death certificates. Our staff is familiar with the process and will assist you on filing for life insurance claims.
Take the will to the Estates and Probate Division of the Clerk of Court which is located in the courthouse. If there is no will, the closest relatives need to go to this same office to qualify to settle the estate. The estate office will assist you, even in the event that there is no estate. You can reach the Clerk of Court at 252-940-4000 or the Estates Division at 252-940-4046 or 252-940-4045.
