Guidance When It Matters Most
The loss of a loved one is one of life’s most difficult moments. With the care and expertise of a trusted funeral professional, your family can find clarity, comfort, and the support needed to make thoughtful choices that truly honor a life well lived.
Where to Begin
Planning a funeral while coping with loss can feel daunting, but taking the first steps can make the process more manageable.
1) Select a funeral home.
A knowledgeable funeral director will walk with you through the many choices you’ll need to make.
2) Look into existing plans.
Your loved one may have set aside instructions or pre-arrangements. Check with close family members or their attorney to see if any details were recorded in advance.
3) Connect with key family members.
Decide who should be involved in making funeral decisions and find the best way for everyone to share input and stay informed.
4) Collect personal details.
Begin gathering important information such as life history, photographs, stories, and unique qualities. These details will help with creating the obituary, eulogy, and overall service.
5) Learn about available options.
Funeral professionals can help explain choices, products, and services so you can create a personalized tribute that reflects your loved one’s life.
6) Consider the service.
Talk with your family about any ideas or wishes for the ceremony, and make notes to share with your funeral director.
