Nothing Enjoyable About Planning A Funeral
by Jimmy Waller
We are half way through the Planning of a Funeral already! All official preparations were made, as indicated in the previous article. Now, you are left with the choices. Will it be a cemetery or a cremation service? Will the loved one be contained in an urn or inside a coffin? Will the ceremony take place in a church, at home or in the open air? These questions will also lead to some other consequent questions: What quality service should you book in the Funeral Home? Can you afford it? What the loved one would have wanted? Should you contact a priest, book an open air place or start preparing the home to receive people?
Bury your loved one. This often calls for a religious tradition that implies the presence of a priest and the ceremony often takes place in the church. The priest usually introduces the ceremony with a few words about your loved one. You will follow with your heartedly prepared speech to share with the present guests. The other willing relatives and close friends may have a speech or a thought to share as well.
In mean time, the present guests are to farewell the embalmed loved one in the casket. Yes, embalmed! A detail of most importance you should not be missing. You are required by law to embalm the body if it is wished to remain until the ceremony takes place, for non-embalmed bodies are to be buried sooner. That is to say, you should add that up to your funeral director's to-do list.
At last, the burying is preceded by the priest prayer and the loved one can be buried in a previously purchased plot. Your funeral director can also present other means of burial, namely vaults such as mausoleums as well as some other types of containers. Cremate your loved one. That is being a heat process to reduce the remains to ashes. You will be left with a margin of choices as to what to do with the ashes. The norm would be to store them in an urn. Then the urn can be kept in a niche by a cemetery or at home. The ashes can also be set free on ground, air, sea or what you see fit. The latter alternative should be considered with your funeral director to inform you about the legal restrictions on that matter. If cremated, you should also decide when and where the ceremony should take place, pre or post cremation.
All what is left of paperwork to do is quite an essential part of the <a href="http://SharedSorrows.com">funeral plan</a>, namely the speech you will give to honor your loved one's passing away. That might not come easy to write or think about if this happens to be your first acquaintance with death. In such a situation, simply recollect a memory of you two sharing an awkward moment that you wouldn't usually share with an audience. Tell that awkward moment you shared in a most nostalgic and truthful manner, without worrying about how it comes out, and you will have heartedly honored your loved one.
