When you have decided that cremation services in North Miami Beach, FL are the best option for your loved one, that can be the end of the planning process. All you have to do is arrange the cremation and your loved one is getting what they need. However, if you want to have a memorial service for them, and many families do, you will have to think through those options as well. Here are some questions to answer as you consider what’s best for your loved one and the rest of your family.

What Timeframe Works?

One of the nice things about using cremation is that you no longer have a tight timeline to work on. With a funeral, the service and burial have to happen within a few days of the person’s death. With cremation, once that process is complete and your loved one is secured in an urn of your choice, you can have the memorial service whenever you want. One of the first steps might be that you decide about when you want to have the service. Do you want to have it right away? A week down the road? In a month? Or later? Deciding that will help you set the rest of the plans up just right.

What Style Do You Want?

Saying you want to have a memorial service can mean just about anything because there are so many different types you can set up. You might want something that feels like a funeral and had a somber, traditional tone to it. You might also want something a bit more light-hearted that includes a meal, lively music, and shared memories. Deciding on the style can help you figure out what direction to take with the plans as well.

What Is The Budget?

Once you have your loved one cremated, you know how much money you have left to spend on the memorial service process. If you spent everything you already had, that’s okay. There are plenty of inexpensive and even free options that you can use to honor your loved one. If you don’t have the money to book a venue, you can have a memorial service in your home or even in a park for no charge at all. The money you have available will help you figure out what you can do for your loved one
