Points to Consider

 - originally published December 3, 2017


In this series of blog posts, I will cover the points you will need to consider when you are arranging a funeral service.

Families at a time of emotional turmoil do not always know what they need to consider. The Funeral Director (during the arrangement of the funeral) will guide the bereaved through the options that are available.

Prior to losing a loved one or perhaps when taking out a pre-need funeral plan, I think it is a good idea to gather information and think about the options that are available and what would suit you and your family.

The topics I intend to cover (in no particular order) are listed below. I will include a link to the posts as I publish them - just click the "View blog post" link.
