The fact that planning for a funeral is not something easy it will always happen to us once in our lifetime. It is a matter of according our loved ones with the care that they deserve. We should not be surprised when we find that some people do not honour their loved ones as it is expected. We should not believe that all is lost as long as we are going to prepare well for the funeral service. It is until when we armed with some information that we will be in a position of knowing more about funeral planning.
When we are planning for a funeral we should know that guests are not invited and so there is need for family members to know the details of the funeral. It is a matter of publishing an obituary as a way of communicating bearing in mind that it is not possible to speak to everyone. People will be in a position of knowing where and what time the funeral will take place with them having an obituary. Gone are days when communication was done through newspapers. Indeed we have migrated to the digital world where people are using social media platforms to communicate. If we have a director to handle the obituary we do not have to worry. We should not be surprised having found that many do not know that even funeral planning needs a director.
What should crop us in our minds when planning for a funeral is how our loved one will be buried. If the deceased had written a will there is nothing that will make us not obey her or his wishes. Of course there are different options that we can always select such as burying above the ground or cremation. We should indicate the option of burying the deceased during
funeral planning
. Whether we want a grave to pay a visit as a way of showing respect to the decease the decision lies with us.
We are living at a time when mourners are wearing bright clothing rather celebrate the deceased. As a way of celebrating the deceased we are going to find some mourners wearing bright clothing. On the basis of the life of the deceased it is good that we have a common theme. There is need for someone who will take us through the occasion, but that should be included in the
funeral planning
. The fact that many funerals will be led by funeral ministers it does not have to be him or her always. And again we should not consider a family member because he or she is likely to deliver a personal service. It is a matter of having an order of events going to happen during the funeral day.
