Pre planning your own funeral is probably not something you think about that often but making funeral arrangements is important for both yourself and your family. Pre planning your funeral is not only cost effective but will also take the burden from your family who will no doubt be emotional at such a time and may find the task stressful and challenging.
These days, making funeral arrangements includes many factors. Once you have decided which type of funeral you will have, you then have to decide where to hold the funeral or memorial service. Many people use their church if it is to be a religious service or local funeral homes who provide enough space to hold both services. Generally, a funeral or memorial service is held within a few days or even a week of the death. If you opt for cremation then this can be a little longer if desired.
The funeral house can advise you on caskets, plots and plaques and other factors and are knowledgeable in their field so listen to their advice on all aspects of the service.
You will now need to decide on what your funeral service will contain, for example, flowers and which songs are to be played. You may want certain hymns or poems or your own personal poem to be, so you will need to tell the funeral director of your choices and preferences.
Too many speakers, and too many poems can make the service drag on. Typical services run for approximately one hour. Try and choose certain family members or friend that you would like to see speak at your funeral.
Once your funeral has been planned, then tell family and friends of your funeral arrangements. Advise them on where to find relevant paperwork etc and remember to revise your service accordingly every few years to keep it as up to date as possible.
