What to Expect When We Meet: Crafting a Meaningful Tribute When you meet with a member of our compassion- ate staff to discuss the funeral arrangements, we will start by providing you with a general price list to offer insight into the cost of our services. Following this, we’ll engage in a conversation about your loved one, aiming to gain a deep understanding of the person whom the services will honor. This is an opportunity for you to communicate your ideas, share your loved one’s life story, reminisce about cherished memories, and celebrate their achievements. During this process, we may address tasks such as preparing and filing the official death certificate, scheduling services and events, selecting a casket or urn, drafting an obituary, arranging transportation, and choosing pallbearers. We aim to ensure that this process is as smooth and stress-free as possible for you. To facilitate this, it’s important to bring relevant information about your loved one, including their full legal name, social security number, date and place of birth, family details, occupation, and other pertinent details. Additionally, please bring a recent photograph and any clothing you’d like us to use when dressing them for the service.

personal phone calls and the publication of a death notice. If this process feels too overwhelming, it’s absolutely acceptable to seek assistance from a trusted family member or friend. This period also marks the time to re- view any preplanned funeral wishes of your loved one and schedule a meeting with a funeral director to commence the planning of their service. If there are no preplanned arrangements, it’s normal to feel unsure about where to begin. Some initial considerations include decisions surrounding burial or cremation, choice of casket or urn, religious services, and the types of commemorative events you envision. Remember, these questions are simply a starting point, and you don’t need to have all the answers right away. You can always rely on us to gain a bet- ter understanding of your options and alleviate some of the burden during this challenging time.
