Why have a Funeral?
Funerals serve as significant events for individuals grieving the loss of a loved one. By creating a supportive environment for surviving family and friends to express their thoughts and emotions surrounding death, funerals mark the initial stage of healing. They represent a traditional means of acknowledging the permanence of loss. Recognized as ceremonial rituals, funerals allow the living to honor the deceased and facilitate the start of the grieving journey for those left behind.
-
Should I choose burial or cremation?
Burial in a casket is the most common practice for laying remains to rest in the United States, with entombment also being an option. However, cremation is becoming increasingly popular due to its cost-effectiveness and the flexibility it offers for scheduling memorial services at a later, more convenient time when relatives and friends can gather.
A funeral service followed by cremation is often no different from one followed by burial. Typically, the cremated remains are placed in an urn before being placed in their final resting place. This could include burial, placement in an indoor or outdoor mausoleum or columbarium, or interment in a dedicated urn garden provided by many cemeteries. Alternatively, the remains may be scattered, adhering to state regulations.

What do I do when a death occurs?
The funeral home will assist in coordinating arrangements with the cemetery.
For state vital statistics requirements, gather:
- Birth Date
- Birthplace
- Father's Name
- Mother's Name
- Social Security Number
- Veteran's Discharge or Claim Number
- Education
- Marital Status
Contact your clergy to decide on the time and place of the funeral or memorial service, which can be arranged at the funeral home.
The funeral home can help determine the number of death certificates needed and order them for you.
Create a list of immediate family, close friends, and employer or business colleagues to notify by phone.
Decide on an appropriate memorial for gifts (church, hospice, library, charity, or school).
Gather obituary information including age, place of birth, cause of death, occupation, degrees, memberships, military service, outstanding work, and list of survivors. The funeral home can draft and submit the obituary to newspapers.
Arrange for family or friends to answer the door or phone, keeping a record of calls. If Social Security checks are on automatic deposit, notify the bank of the death.
