Advanced Funeral Planning

The second step in Advance Funeral Planning is to select the type of services and merchandise that best suit your wishes. Generally, there are two categories of funeral services: those ending with burial or entombment and those ending with cremation. Your choice will help to determine the types of professional services and merchandise to be considered. However, here is a brief overview to help us get started.

Funeral services include:

  • Professional services of the funeral directors and staff.
  • Transportation services.
  • Embalming and other preparation.
  • Facilities for visitation.
  • The funeral ceremony.
  • Other services or items necessary or requested by the family.

Funeral merchandise includes:

  • Casket, urn or both.
  • Outer burial container-burial vault or other selections.
  • Other merchandise or materials such as memorial notes, acknowledgement cards or transfer containers.
When choosing the services, it is important to understand the purpose of a funeral

A Funeral Service fills several important needs in today's society. First, it provides the respectful care of the deceased, by providing a special tribute or memorial to a unique life. Equally important, the funeral service helps survivors cope with the reality of death - the first big step in overcoming grief. It also brings together relatives and close friends who can lend support and comfort when most needed. A funeral gives friends and relatives the chance to express the love they feel for someone who was important to them.
