When you’re faced with the death of a loved one, the last thing you’re probably thinking about is how to handle the logistics of funeral planning. But knowing what to expect can help make the situation less stressful, so we’ve put together this handy guide on what every Funeral Directors in Adelaide wants you to know before arranging your loved one’s Burial or cremation services.
Cremation and Burial are both great options
when choosing between cremation and Burial, remember that they are both great options. It’s important to know what your loved one wants. Consider how you want them remembered. We love talking about things we do, don’t be afraid to ask us questions! Want a second opinion? Don’t be afraid to ask another funeral director for a consultation.
Cemetery vs. Church
The question of what is right for you when choosing a final resting place is ultimately yours to decide. To answer it, make an appointment with a Funeral Directors Adelaide, who can give you all your options. Consider how important you think it is that family and friends visit your gravesite on a regular basis. If cemetery plots are what’s best for you, have a walk-through of different cemeteries so that you know exactly where your plot will be located before finalizing any decisions or purchases.
Do you need a casket?
If you’re planning a funeral, you may be wondering if it includes a casket. We offer full-service funeral plans, which include all of your arrangements from start to finish, but some families prefer paying for each item individually. If you choose a burial plan without a casket, we’ll help you pick one that fits your needs. These can range in price based on factors like wood and design quality.
The Open Casket & Sealed Casket Questions
When you first hear that a loved one has passed away, your first instinct is likely to reach out and hug or hold them. In fact, many of us immediately attempt to console family members by doing just that—that is, until we’re told that they’re in an open casket. We often pause when we’re asked if we would like to see our loved ones in an open casket because we don’t know what it means for their funeral. The truth is, it depends on which type of funeral service you choose.
Final wishes
Your loved one may have wished for a certain casket and flowers or a particular song to be played during their service. As their next of kin, you’re entitled to make all final arrangements so long as you do so in keeping with your state’s laws on post-death disposition. To ensure your late family member gets exactly what they wanted, you should consult with your Funeral Directors in Adelaide, about their wishes beforehand. Regardless of what you choose—whether it be Burial or cremation—they’ll guide you through every step until completion.
