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.
