BBB Warning: How to Avoid Scams Targeting Grieving Families

Wed, 06 May 2026 18:26:19 GMT

Losing a loved one is hard—and unfortunately, some scammers try to take advantage of that vulnerable time. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) recently warned about schemes that reference funeral homes and obituary details to trick families. Below is a simple guide to help you stay safe.

How to protect yourself

Pause & verify. Hang up and call us or the company back using a number you trust.
Guard personal info. Don’t share SSN, birthdates, account or policy numbers over the phone or email with unsolicited contacts.
Limit public details. Consider sharing less identifying info in public posts/obituaries.
Use one trusted contact. Designate a family representative to handle calls and bills.
Report scams. File a report with BBB Scam Tracker and your local authorities.

St. Jude Aligns With Heritage Mortuary: What We Stand For

Wed, 06 May 2026 18:10:02 GMT

At Heritage Mortuary, we walk alongside families to the very best of our abilities. While we know we can’t please everyone, we are deeply committed to trying our best—every family, every life, every story.

One meaningful way we help families honor their loved ones is through giving. When flowers aren’t desired, donating to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in a loved one’s name offers a powerful way to celebrate a life while helping save another.

Here at Heritage, we consider ourselves the gatekeepers of your loved one’s story. We honor their memory, their legacy, and the love they leave behind. What an incredible way to celebrate a life—by helping give a child another chance at theirs.

St. Jude specializes in caring for some of the toughest pediatric cases, all while investing in advanced resources and cutting-edge scientific research. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food—so they can focus on what truly matters: helping their child live.

Unlike other hospitals, the majority of St. Jude’s funding comes from generous donors. That generosity is what allows their life-saving work to continue.

Why Support St. Jude?

St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. At Heritage Mortuary, we believe deeply in family. When families come through our doors, you become a part of ours.

Just as St. Jude stands beside families during their most difficult moments, we are here to do the same—guiding you through grief, preserving memories, and honoring the story of your loved one with dignity and care.

Your support and donations are truly appreciated. Together, we can honor lives, preserve legacies, and help make a difference that reaches far beyond today.
