Research Funeral Homes

Look at funeral home websites, reviews, history, and options to make the best choice for your plans and for your family. You’ll want something located nearby so it’s convenient, but also something with the options you want for yourself.  

Look Into Options 

If you’ve never planned a cremation before, you may not be familiar with the options that come along with the service. Before you speak with the funeral home and make decisions, it’s good to know what’s out there. You can go with direct cremation, which takes you from the place of your death right into cremation. You can also have a funeral service with a visitation first and then get cremated. Or you can get cremated first and have a memorial later. These are the types of options you will want to think through.
