Once you’ve decided on a burial for your loved one, there are a few practical things to keep in mind. Here are some of the key points to consider:
🕊️Burial location
Decide which cemetery you’d prefer and check if there are any specific requirements.
🕊️New or existing grave
Think about whether you’ll be purchasing a new grave or reopening one already in the family.
🕊️Coffin or casket
Consider the style, material, and design that best reflects your loved one’s wishes.
🕊️Open or closed casket
Families sometimes choose whether the casket will be open or closed during the service, depending on personal preference or cultural customs.
🕊️Cemetery fees and other costs
Be aware that expenses can vary depending on the cemetery, the type of grave, and any additional services.
🕊️Memorial stones
Some cemeteries have guidelines for placing, removing, or replacing tombstones.
🕊️Type of service
Think about what kind of ceremony you’d like and how you want the day to honour your loved one.
