Although most of us don't like to think about it, at some point we will probably be making funeral arrangements, whether they are immediate arrangements for a deceased friend or relative, or our own pre-arranged funeral plans. In either case, there are many details to work out and many choices to make. This information will help you make informed decisions about arrangements and cost. Making Funeral Arrangements With the loss of a loved one comes a time of mixed emotions. Along with the great sense of loss, there is also a sense of responsibility and important decisions which must be made.
Most cemeteries have small plots for cremated remains and scattering gardens.
If it is in a church or community facility, the funeral provider will work with the minister of your choice. Although funerals are sad occasions they are often times when friends and relatives travel from far away want to be together. You may want the funeral provider only to transport the deceased for cremation or preparation. Funerals are often regarded as a celebration of the life of the deceased but are also for the comfort of the living and a time for the community to offer its support to the bereaved family and friends. Funeral Services A funeral provider or undertaker is licensed under the Act to own and operate a funeral home and to provide funeral services.
