How to Make Funeral Arrangements
Laying a loved one to rest is a difficult challenge to face, but making the funeral arrangements doesn’t have to be overwhelming. At Tharp Funeral Home we pride ourselves on providing expert support and services. This ensures that your mind is free to attend your personal needs and those of your friends, family, and loved ones. We hope the following guidelines will answer any questions you may have and alleviate any anxiety about the process of laying a loved one to rest.
Call Your Funeral Home
The first step occurs soon after the passing. You should call a trusted funeral home or funeral service provider. Finding a local, family-owned provider ensures that you will receive personal and attentive care. Your funeral home can arrange for the deceased to be transported to the funeral facility. Be sure to provide clear details of what you require: transport from one funeral home to another, or from one city to another for burial. You should be able to take care of this step with just one phone call.
Make Funeral Arrangements
Planning of the appropriate funeral
services is generally handled in person. It is important, even in a grieving state, to make mindful decisions at this point. Tharp Funeral Home is always available to provide service and advice regarding every aspect of the process including ceremonies, funeral products, final disposition of the body, and any other concerns you may have.
Make Cemetery Arrangements
Once the funeral arrangements are in place, you should discuss cemetery arrangements with your funeral director. If you do not have a funeral director, then reach out to a cemetery representative to review your options to purchase a burial or entombment space.
Purchase Necessary Components for the Funeral
With the events secured, your next step is purchasing funeral and memorial products. At Tharp Funeral Home, we offer a variety of options regarding the selection and purchase of caskets, grave markers, and other funeral merchandise. Whatever you require, we will provide it to your exacting standards and always on time.
There are a great many estate, financial, and administrative issues that arise after a death, including death reports, death benefit claims, and changing the title of the deceased’s assets. It is wise to assign a trusted individual to take charge of these matters to ensure that they don’t get brushed aside and forgotten, only to reappear later and cause major headaches.
