The Room For The Service

When you walk through the facilities with the funeral home, they will show you the rooms that you have available to you for the funeral services. You will want to pay close attention to those rooms because they are important to the outcome of the service itself. You need a room that is comforting and bright, but also one that can accommodate the number of guests you plan to invite.

The Program

As you arrange the final services, you might want to put together a program for the service, so everyone knows the order of events. These programs can also be keepsakes that people can take home after the funeral. You might want to put in a special picture, a longer bio than the eulogy allowed, and other such things. The program is something you yourself might hold onto later as well.

The Guests

Once the funeral service time arrives, you will want to pay attention to the guests who come to honor your love done. When you go through a tragic event, like losing a loved one, you will really see the people who are important in your life coming out of the woodwork. Those who attend the service are there to support you and you will want to know who was there. Have a guestbook on hand a well so you can remember later. And talk to as many people as you can, even briefly.

The Flowers

You will likely have a lot of flower arrangements at the funeral, both that you arranged to have and that were given as gifts. Once the funeral is over, you need to pay attention to what happens to the flowers. The funeral home can help distribute in whatever way you want. You may want to keep some, take some to the grave, and donate some.

These are just a few of the things that you will want to pay attention to before, during, and even after funeral services. You don’t have to remember everything, though.
