What To Do When Planning a Funeral
By Jitske Memoli
Sending a respectable and sincere send off to your
deceased relative or a very close friend can be done
through proper planning of a funeral. You will not only
feel emotionally stressed with the whole preparation
process, but you will also feel anxious with your budget
for that. Planning and organizing a funeral service can
be really complicated and would really strain you out
physically and emotionally. The following are tips to
help you out with planning a memorial or funeral
service.
Plan Ahead
Planning ahead of time can sound ridiculous to some, but
it is best to be ready than to feel sorry later. Getting
a memorial service plan can guarantee you and your
family that once you die, everything regarding your
funeral is already settled and your family would not be
having any difficulty dealing with it financially.
Memorial Service Costing
Paying for a memorial or funeral plan in advance can
offer you better savings since it would definitely cost
lesser. These plans can then execute all the planning
process from what funeral casket you would prefer to be
in, up to the cemetery of your choice.
Last Requests and Desires
It is important to you and your family to know what
personal rites and other procedures are to be followed
during funerals. Through planning ahead, you can talk to
your family concerning their request or desires as
primary mourners.
Guest Offerings
Your guests will definitely bring along something to the
family of the deceased to ease their sorrow and convey
their sympathies and condolences. Flowers are among the
popular things, and a sudden large amount of it may
flood in the room, blocking the funeral casket of the
deceased. It is important to ask your guests and other
visitors to provide flowers that you can also donate to
hospitals, chapels and charity institutions.
Developing a Checklist
To avoid overlooking major and minor details while
planning a funeral service, it is important to keep a
checklist that you could go over while in the process of
preparing. Knowing the preferred memorial process is
very vital. This process can be cremation or the usual
burial, and will definitely depend on your faith or
religion. Choose your preferred type of funeral casket -
the material, color and price. Other details that you
should also think about are the playlist of the songs to
be played during the memorial service and what kind of
flowers you should have for the funeral.
Planning a funeral service is not a piece of cake. It
should be planned well and in order since this is the
last time you pay respect to a person who has completed
his or her mission here on Earth.
