Cremation Service Planning Mistakes to Avoid

Schrader-Howell Funeral Home • Jun 28, 2021

When it comes to planning a cremation service in Canton Township, MI, you’ll first want to find the right funeral home to work with. A reputable and dependable death care services provider will be able to guide you through the process so that you plan a fitting final service. But while the funeral director and the other staff at the funeral home will help, you have a role to play as well. What follows is a look at cremation service planning mistakes you’ll wish to avoid. 

 

Not Sticking To a Budget 
Before you start the planning process, you and your family should figure out a budget. You don’t want to head into the planning consultation at the funeral home without having considered how much your family can afford to spend on a funeral service or a cremation service. Once you’ve found a funeral home that interests you, you should ask them for a general price list. This will give you a rundown of their offerings and prices. So you’ll be able to budget intelligently. 

 
Not Asking Enough Questions
 
One of the worst things you can do is to go through the process without asking enough questions. When you go to the funeral home to make plans, you’ll get a lot of information. If there’s something you don’t understand, you need to ask for clarification. That’s the only way you’ll be able to make informed choices. Remember that the funeral director and the other staff members are there to help. But they can’t help you effectively if you don’t ask questions. 

Choosing the Wrong Final Service Package
 
When you check out the price list, you will see a variety of final service packages. You’ll want to choose the right one, however, in order to honor your deceased loved one. Which one is the right one, though? You’ll need to carefully consider all the options, discuss the matter with your loved ones, ask questions, and then use the answers to help you make the right choice. 

Not Keeping Loved Ones in the Loop 
While there may be one person in charge of 
planning the final service, that doesn’t mean that other family members shouldn’t be allowed to contribute. In fact, the final service will be better if various family members each contribute ideas and suggestions for the final service. If you are leading the planning effort, try to get feedback from different family members.
