Funerals-to-die-for - Changing the Way We Grieve

Funeral Planning: In the economy we live in today, funeral costs are on the rise and locating the lowest and best priced funeral materials is a daunting task. One of the great advantage of funeral services provided by Funerals-to-die-for is, it can provide you with more cost saving solutions for the funeral service you are planning. Funeral planning is more or less like arranging a wedding except you've got a shorter window of time for the planning and preparations. Here are some ideas to cut back expenses for a funeral of a loved one,
  • Cremation is a growing alternative method, since you will not have to have the body embalmed, buy a plot of land for burial and purchase a casket to case the body.
  • You can keep the ashes at a cemetery and purchase a small space to contain the ashes which is considerably less than a plot of land. The container for the ashes or "urn" is much less than the price of a casket.
  • The funeral music can be provided by a close friend who can either present a singing solor or play music from a CD recording.
  • You can save costs by not having a funeral home assist in the funeral arrangements and having a friend or family member facilitate the funeral or memorial service.
  • You can enlist the help of a family member or friend to officiate the funeral service. This would include delivering a eulogy, encouraging word, or introduce the next order of service.
  • Have the after funeral service reception at a home and ask family and friends to help prepare the food. Support will come from family and friends during a time of loss and will often provide meals and food for the bereaved family.
  • By creating the funeral service program yourself, you can save a lot of money but still produce a wonderful cherished memorial of your loved one.
Creating a funeral service program for your loved one is the goal to establishing a truly remarkable program. Funeral services are highlighting the life of your loved one. Family, friends, and acquaintances keep the funeral service program as a valuable relic for many years. The program is often cherished and kept treasured after the funeral or memorial service by those who attended the service.
