Funeral Organizing To-do List
Planning a funeral can be a very difficult task, primarily considering the circumstances. The minute something as tragic as a family member or friend passes away, the last thing you want to deal with is planning the funeral. For this reason, we have organized a list of things to remember when planning a funeral. Although this will not help with the emotional stress you are experiencing, it may set out some of the pressure you are experiencing in such a difficult time.
Hiring a funeral videographer can be a great memory for all family and friends of the deceased. Someone who does professional videography can walk around in a quiet way not to disturb anyone. Cameras have quiet shutters so the photographer can easily walk around very slowly with a long lens and capture moments from a long distance without using flash photography.
When planning a funeral, take into consideration the following:
1. Compile personal relevant information and compile to form an obituary.
2. Choose a funeral parlour
3. Choose whether the deceased will be buried or cremated.
4. Select a casket or cremation container.
5. Choose the funeral location and sort of funeral service.
6. Choose when and where the visitations will occur (attend visitations as well).
7. Decide what the deceased will wear (if buried).
8. Pick out the music for the funeral service.
9. Choose literature to be read at the funeral service.
10. Arrange for funeral transportation (funeral coach, chauffeur driven car, clergy car, and so on).
11. Decide on the clergy or the officiator.
12. Decide on who you intend to be the pallbearers.
13. Pick which family member or friend is most likely to perform the eulogy.
14. Choose a cemetery (unless already chosen or picked by the deceased).
15. Make a selection a burial or cremation plot (or even already chosen by the deceased).
16. Submit the obituary to the appropriate newspapers, etc
Funeral Planning and Considerations
Depending on whether or not the death was expected, a number of these considerations may have already been planned by the deceased. If the death was unexpected, chances are there will be more planning on your part.
There are a quantity of things to consider which can not be arranged before the death occurs. These will need to be taken into things to consider as well. These include issues such as requesting death certificates, requesting a burial permit and arranging a location and for food for the reception.
Other considerations which are usually discussed, but are a lot less necessary to the funeral planning process, include matters for instance, flower placements, fashion jewelry of the deceased, memorial cards and supporting out-of-town guests. These are important issues, but they can possibly be performed by someone else aside from the individual doing the rest of the planning.

The funeral planning process is incredibly difficult for just a single person to take on. You will need to converge and support each other and make sure you each contribute your part to the planning process. Don’t put the burden on just one person; it’s too much to deal with at a time which is actually incredibly stressful.
