The recent death of a friend has prompted the individual to think about making funeral arrangements in advance. Fortunately, most of the Local Funeral Homes Orange City FL have personnel who can help ensure all the details are worked out and paid up front. Here are some tips to keep in mind when making those advance arrangements.
Cremation or Burial?
A key decision to make is whether to go with cremation or a traditional burial. Professionals at Local Funeral Homes in Orange City FL often have connections with companies that manufacture caskets as well as local crematories. Choosing an option makes it possible for the team to help the client compare pricing and ensure that the right casket design is chosen or that an urn is set aside for use later.
When Will the Funeral Take Place?
If the client does opt for cremation, when will the funeral or memorial service take place? Some clients may prefer that the service takes place before the cremation. This is a good idea if it would help mourners to have closure by seeing the body at the service. Others may prefer to have the cremation done in advance and arrange for the urn and a framed photo of the deceased be used in lieu of a coffin.
What Venue is Right for the Service?
There are several choices in terms of where to hold the service. Perhaps a simple service at home is desired. Holding the memorial service at the house of worship the deceased used to attend is also an option. Some people prefer a short service at the grave site. Remember that it’s also possible to hold the service at the chapel in the local funeral home.
There are plenty of other details that can be worked out and paid for in advance. Talk with the team at Fourtowns Cremation Inc. and explore all the options before coming up with the final plans. With the help of a professional, the client can make sure those who are left behind are not shouldered with a lot of expense, and that they can spend their time mourning the loss and comforting one another.
