Being Informed
Understanding What’s Involved

Some recent trends are influencing the way in which funeral service decisions are being made. Rising cremation rates and changing attitudes about religious services are, in some cases, affecting the choices families make. There are a lot of voices out there, saying different things. Some are informed, and… some are uninformed.

The acknowledgement of the life of a loved one still remains very important for most families, despite wishes to simplify the saying of goodbyes and bidding farewells. Which begs the question: Why are some of us deciding to choose: no service? In the arrangement office, we sometimes hear the following: “They didn’t want anything.”

The impact of these decisions needs more consideration. A funeral service has many purposes. Paying respects and honouring or paying tribute to a loved one holds value for everyone involved.

There is an old saying: “funerals are about the living.” Though funerals are a place to pay respects and honour the deceased, they are also about those who mourn, providing them an opportunity to come to terms with their loss.

Careful consideration of the impact of all funeral decisions is needed. Coming to conclusions without information gathering and a discussion with professionals can lead to a sub-optimal choice. Directors can provide helpful insights and inform families about what options are available. You’d be surprised at the number of ways families are honouring their loved ones. Contact us to learn about and the benefits of choosing a service which is unique to you and meets your needs.

Our Display Room

Meteghan Funeral Home has an on-site display area with both urns and caskets. We have literally dozens of memorial products to accommodate the needs of each and every family we serve.

Our urns are made from many materials: wood, marble, brass and ceramic. We offer unique choices: companionship urns and environmentally friendly biodegradable urns.

Personalization is a trend we are witnessing more often these days and many urns we carry have emblems that highlight the passions of an individual. Some urn choices have floral emblems or pastimes and hobbies such as golfing or fishing.

Our display area also includes a number of caskets, showing the detailing and finishing of each casket. Caskets are made from different types of soft and hard woods. We also can offer metal sealed caskets for those wishing a more durable option, or… for individuals wishing to minimize their environmental footprint, we have biodegradable caskets available upon request. Some times a service is held with a casket before cremation and we offer a “rental casket” for this purpose.

When selecting an urn or a casket we understand that each and every family has unique needs and wishes. We provide a wide selection of options that includes choices for every budget.

If you have questions about the types of urns or caskets that are available for a service or about how today’s families are making these types of decisions, please contact us. We would be happy to show you options from our display room and explain how we can make a service unique to you.
