A funeral is an important step toward healing when losing a loved one, not only for yourself, but for everyone affected. There are a number of things to consider when putting someone’s final arrangements in place. One of the most important decisions is whether you want your loved one to be buried or cremated.

If you choose to have your loved one buried, you will need to decide if you would like a viewing with the body present and if you want this viewing to be public or private. You will also need to make arrangements for a cemetery plot if these are not in place already.

If you choose to have your loved one cremated, please remember that you can still have the body present for viewing before the cremation. Next you’ll need to decide if you would like the cremated remains scattered or kept in an urn or other keepsake.

Having a funeral service with time to say goodbye and proper measures in place to ensure that your loved one is remembered now and in the future is important, not only for your healing, but for others as well.
