How to arrange a funeral
Choices you will need to consider when arranging a funeral are:
- Is burial or cremation preferred - if burial, does the family already own a grave?
- Venue - church followed by crematorium/cemetery, or single service only?
- Type of service - religious / celebrant.
- Transportation needs - for family and/or friends.
- Will there be a viewing and is embalming required - for presentation and sanitisation.
- Has the deceased left written information - has a pre-paid arrangement been put in place?
- Are there any specific requests left by the deceased - consider music, flowers etc.
- After funeral gathering - home or other venue, catering.
