While it may be unsettling to consider, planning ahead of time can help relieve stress and provide peace of mind for both you and your loved ones.Here are some things you can do to start planning your memorial:
- Consider your preferences: Consider what you would like for your memorial service. Do you prefer a traditional funeral or a life celebration? Do you want a religious or secular service? Do you have any particular music or readings in mind? Consider writing down your preferences and sharing them with the people you care about.
- Choose whether you want to be buried or cremated: Decide whether you want to be buried or cremated. Personal beliefs, environmental concerns, or cost may all have an impact on this decision. If you choose burial, you must also pick a cemetery and a casket. If you opt for cremation, you can have your ashes scattered or interred in a cemetery or columbarium.
