Planning a Burial Memorial

 

What do you want? Is a traditional burial in a cemetery or mausoleum the preference, or perhaps cremation? Knowing the basics of what you need, whether for yourself or a loved one, will aid the decision making process, and allow you to keep to the budget.

 

Next, Contact several funeral directors in your area to compare prices and available options. You can request written information about the cost of the merchandise, services, and professional fees before finalizing any plans. By federal law, all funeral homes must give you their 'general price list' before you sign anything. During your meeting, discuss religious preferences and the other arrangements you know you want.

 

If you prefer guests to donate to a charity, make sure you let the funeral director know, this way they can make sure your preference goes in the obituary and they can tell callers about your wishes.

 

Personalize the Burial Memorial. This service is all about remembering your loved one. The best way to do this is to think of the things they loved, or were passionate about. Tailor the funeral to your loved one and it will always stand out in the minds of the guests.

• A memorial burial can be held near the time of burial or cremation or at a later date.
• It is the families choice whether or not to have the casket or urn at the service
• The same goes for a wake or viewing
