Funeral Parlor Digest

Funeral planning is a exacting process involving emotional trauma, fiscal decision making, and uncertainty. Without some teaching, the options and information surrounding funerals and arrangement planning can seem overwhelming at an already heavy time.
When you start to plan a funeral you’ll learn that there are a number of decisions that need to be made, regardless of whether you’re dealing with a death or pre-planning.

• Shop around for a funeral director.
• Get conventional price lists from at least three different funeral homes.
• Fix a date with the Funeral Director of your liking.
• Choose a funeral service location. A church is one of several choices. If you choose a church, you’ll need to choose clergy.
• Decide on a date and time for the service.
• Choose the kind of service you want: traditional, non-traditional, military, etc.
• Choose a casket (or cremation urn).

• Choose music.
• Choose a burial container or mausoleum crypt.
• Pick clothing for the deceased.
• Write or have an obituary written.
