Things To Do After Our Initial Meeting But Before The Funeral or Memorial Service

Things To Do After Our Initial Meeting But Before The Funeral or Memorial Service

Now that the service arrangements have been planned, here is a list of things to consider before the date of the funeral or memorial service. 

  • Choose your florist and order flowers for the visitation or service. 
  • If you need to purchase a grave, contact the cemetery caretaker to make those arrangements. 
  • Meet with the clergy or church representative to discuss hymns, scripture readings and family involvement on the day of the funeral or memorial service. 
  • Decide if there will be a meal following the funeral or memorial service. 
  • Consider family and friends who will be pallbearers. 
  • Consider family or friends who may want to participate with special musical selections or read a eulogy. 
  • Make arrangements with trusted friends to look over your home while you are at the funeral home or the church. 
  • Ask your friends or distant relatives to help with the influx of food and flowers that may be arriving at your home. 

 

As always, please call us if you need help or advice with any of these tasks. Call Rairigh-Bence Funeral Home & Crematory: 724-349-2000 or 724-254-4342
