Funeral director

Planning a funeral and organising a farewell can be overwhelming because you are fully engaged in the grieving process. There are many things to consider when arranging a funeral. A funeral undertaker ensures that everything runs smoothly during the funeral or burial so that you do not have to worry. And that the farewell of your deceased loved one is unforgettable and unique.

A tailor-made funeral

An undertaker always starts with an exploratory conversation: he asks about the wishes of the deceased and those of the next of kin. With this information listed, the undertaker gets to work to plan the perfect funeral and takes into account what you want as a customer. Discretion and personal service are of paramount importance to him.

An undertaker also arranges all formalities and practicalities of the funeral or cremation so that you do not have to worry about it. After the death of a loved one, various authorities must be informed, such as the registry office of the municipality or city. Together you discuss where and when the funeral, cremation, or other form of farewell will take place.

In consultation with the funeral home, you arrange the final words. In some cases, this will take place in the funeral home, in other cases, it might take place at home. The undertaker also arranges other practical matters, such as the funeral cards, funeral bouquets, or a death notice in the newspaper. Tip: provide the funeral director with an address list for the bereavement letters as soon as possible so that they can be sent on time. If you have specific wishes, this professional will be able to assist. Another tip: check whether there is a will and testament, it may contain funeral wishes. For example, an environmentally friendly farewell ceremony.

An undertaker can also advise you on the choice of the coffin or urn. For example, if you opt for cremation, you may have the urn interred in the cemetery, keep it at home, or have the ashes scattered in a place that is important to the deceased or his loved ones. The undertaker will also tell you about the final personal care of the deceased. Feel free to think about the clothing in which your loved one will be laid out.

For the farewell ceremony, the funeral home will support you with the implementation of texts, music, photos and video reports, and other choices in the crematorium or cemetery. This can be very personal: a beautiful poem, a special singer, classical flower arrangements, or very personal objects that say something about the deceased.

The undertaker will also help you with the funeral repast or other forms of farewell. Also, make sure you have a guest list here. Sometimes people like to organise a funeral themselves.
