Advice Needed Hospice Care for Mom

Hi everyone.

I am about to make some decisions for my mom along with my sister.

Mom is on hospice care currently. We have a funeral home in mind.

In the past few situations where we dealt with death, we had my mom helping us so this is hard. When my husband died at 22 in the Army, I literally had someone holding my hand for everything, so this is harder.

What questions should we be asking the funeral home directors besides the obvious like costs?

Thank you so much in advance.

Please accept my sympathies. Is mom a veteran? Was she married to a veteran?

Mom isn't, Dad is. He's a retired CPO.

Do they wish to be buried together? In a National Cemetery?

She has a plot already and wishes to be buried there.
