Planning one’s own funeral may seem odd to some people, but it can save a lot of stress to everybody involved. It will relieve the family of having to plan out the funeral of a loved one who has just died, and it also ensures the funeral will be exactly what is desired, not just based on the assumptions of others. Here are some expert tips on how to easily plan prearranged funerals Middletown.
Like and Dislikes
The first step here is to make a list of both likes and dislikes. Some people prefer just to start writing “stream of consciousness”-style and then piece together ideas from there. There are no limits to what can be done with a memorial, as long as the actions are legal, the sky is the limit. Many people do not want a somber affair and prefer to have a festive atmosphere. There have even been memorials which have featured live entertainment. The choice is up to the one doing the planning.
What Type Of Funeral
The most basic choices for this will be burial or cremation. If it does not conflict with one’s religious beliefs, cremation is always the more economical option. On the other hand, many people already have family plots in which their relatives are buried so they may prefer this option. There is no right or wrong as to how one chooses to dispose of their remains.
Reception
A reception for the prearranged funerals Middletown can be an open-casket viewing, a closed-casket viewing, or just the urn if the body is cremated. There will also be options for friends and family to speak at the reception, telling of their fond memories or amusing anecdotes about the dearly departed.
Budget
Unfortunately, even the most well-intentioned plans cannot be brought to fruition if the finances are not there to support it. Always look at the budget to see what can realistically be done. There is no sense in planning things which one cannot afford.
