What To Know When Thinking About Funeral Options

People who are put in charge of handling arrangements for a deceased friend or family member may feel overwhelmed at the many funeral options. It can be very difficult to mourn death while still planning this kind of event. Choices that one makes may reflect culture, desires of the deceased, religion or available budget, among other things.

One option that is available is donating the body to medical science. This may be done with certain parts or the whole body. Usually it is given as a gift to a teaching hospital, medical school or a similar facility. In some cases, the receiving group will cover the cost of transportation and embalming, and still send the ashes back to loved ones when all is said and done. People who choose this often do so in the name of medical research and science.

Cremation, as well as direct cremation, are other choices. Direct means the body is taken directly to the crematory following death. If there are memorial services to be held, these are done on another date. Standard cremation is carried out after all ceremonies and funeral services. The cost of such service will range and many options are available for the ashes.

Many cultures do direct burial where the body is sent directly to the cemetery and buried in a container. Memorial services are held another time, if wanted by the family. Other than donation and cremation, this is one of the most cost-effective options made available from funeral homes.

There are different things worth considering in the planning process. If possible, follow requests left by deceased as closely as possible. It is recommended that people make arrangements while still alive so that family and friends are not given all the responsibility when the person passes away.

Keep budget in mind during planning. Many funeral options can get expensive fast. Transport and handling of body, purchase of casket, and cremation service all adds up. However, one must not break the bank in order to cover the cost of laying a loved on to final rest. Make sure to do research to find out what all is available.
