5 ways to improve the funeral planning process

December 19, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

If you’re in the process of planning a funeral, simply continue reading to discover 5 unique ways to improve the funeral planning process.

5 Ways to improve the funeral planning process:

  1. Reach out to funeral homes which focus on personalized funerals

Opt for a funeral home like Funeral Homes Sydney which offer plenty of opportunities to personalize your loved one’s funeral service. After all, a funeral should reflect the deceased’s personality and background. As an example, you may be able to personalize a funeral which you’re organizing by arranging for the deceased’s favorite song to play during the service. Places like Lady Anne Funerals can help you create a personalized funeral which features religious or cultural traditions, that are important to your family.

  1. Use simple recipes for the wake

Instead of spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on hiring a professional catering company, it’s well worth looking for simple, foolproof recipes, which you can prepare yourself. If your time is limited, simply enlist the help of your friends and family members, to help you prepare enough dishes to feed all of your guests.Remember to opt for simple, comfort foods as most guests, who attend a wake will have little appetite for complicated foods. Instead opt for simple, well-cooked food which will keep your guests nourished, during their time of mourning. This could be casseroles, sandwiches, easy snacks and chocolate desserts. As many individuals forget to eat when they’re mourning the death of a special individual, in their life.

  1. Organize post-death account cancellations

You may want to consider canceling the deceased’s accounts, before their funeral. As examples, you may want to cancel your loved one’s gym membership, car parking membership, magazine subscriptions and golf membership. As if you fail to close the deceased’s accounts after their death, you may be liable for paying for any future bills.

  1. Place an obituary notice in your local newspaper

While the bulk of your friends and family members may have canceled their newspaper subscription years ago if you post an obituary notice in your local paper, it will also turn up in Google searches as well as in online records. However, if an elderly family member has passed away, you may be surprised to find that many of their old friends may read the local obituaries on a weekly basis.

  1. Consider using social media to invite guests to the deceased’s wake and funeral

One way to ensure that your funeral venue is packed full of guests, who wish to celebrate your loved one’s life is to use social media to get the word out about the deceased’s wake and funeral. Make sure to post a message as soon as possible, in order to give those who live out of town an opportunity to travel down, for wake and funeral which you’re organizing.

So if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the monumental task of organizing a funeral, it’s well taking the 5 tips listed above into account, before you begin to plan your loved one’s funeral.

Hi Friends!
I'm Fern and I have a love for travel, beauty, health and flowers! I went to school for nutrition, but wasn't really interested in being a nutritionist. So, I started to bartend and have since I graduated school a year ago.
I love talking to people, traveling and writing on my blog... and bartending allows me to do the things I love.

I can take off for a month to travel abroad and there will never be any shortage of bartending/serving jobs when I get home. I also love that I can work abroad bartending anywhere I want! So, I hope you enjoy my blog and if you have any questions, feel free to email me! :)
