How To Plan Your Funeral?

When planning your memorial service or funeral service, you got to decide the kind of disposition. Will it be burial or cremation? If taking burial service, then specify whether it would be green and natural or eco-friendly.  It is better to choose natural burial if you want to do your part of the work for nature. Funeral plans do include details on kind of disposition. Cremation process reduces the body into ashes. Alkaline hydrolysis is a fairly new one. You can make a list in which you have to mention your likes and dislikes and you can also mention which type of reception you want for your funeral and you can also mention if you want readings at your funeral.

Look For Personalized Funeral Service

Among so many funeral plans, first of all, choose a personalized one. Funeral homes give a chance to customize the plan. This service has become increasingly personalized in few years. A personalized memorial service or funeral service reflects the personality, the uniqueness of the person. The funeral ceremony is as per the person’s lifestyle, his goals, and objectives. The funeral ceremony will revolve around the kind of life the person has visualized always.

Choose the funeral plan where you may say ‘good-bye’ in the most meaningful manner. The ceremony may reflect the person’s religious and personal beliefs. The ceremony may be accompanied by sad music and religious readings. Consider the following aspects when choosing the plan:
  • Who will lead the entire funeral?
  • Will there be some prominent personality attending the funeral?
  • readings like poems, religious scriptures, prayers to be included
  • Who delivers the eulogy?
  • religious or contemporary music
  • food and other necessities to be arranged by the catering company or the family members of the dead

Will The Body Be Present?

You have to think about the physical presence of the body. Both cremation and burial are the forms of body disposition and they don’t require funeral service to be performed with the body. A family may either choose to arrange funeral service, traditional funeral ceremony with the body or may cremate/bury the body first and then arrange the ceremony. To express heartfelt grief and condolences for the family, friends, and outsiders can send flowers. So, after receiving such condolences, the final disposition can take place. You may even communicate in what way you would receive flowers or donations.

Contact Several Service Providers

There are many companies providing funeral plans and so you need to carry out significant researches. Contact the cremation provider or burial provider if the death has taken place. The chosen service provider can help with the complete arrangement of a funeral, interment service, and memorial service. The service provider will let you know the fees you have to incur.

If there is any cultural or religious preference, you should communicate that to the company. Funeral homes do serve families coming from diverse backgrounds. So, it is important to discuss your needs, your religious beliefs and cultures prior to choosing a company.
