One of your family members recently died? The last thing you want is to be nervous about the funeral arrangements. These steps will help you.

Steps

1. 1 Select a funeral hall. Prices and service may vary, even among funeral halls within a 3 km radius. Call and ask for a general price list so you can see - prices must comply with FTC regulations - if those prices are right for you. Once you have chosen the hall that suits you, the funeral director will ask you various questions and ask if you need help organizing the funeral. Do not be afraid to consult with several bureaus at once and discuss their services and prices.
2. 2 Get a pastor, rabbi, or spiritual leader to help you choose a place of worship. If the deceased person was not a believer, consult a priest.
3. 3 Ask friends to bring photos of the deceased for collage.
4. 4 Also give the photo to the funeral director for reference. This will help them to give the appearance that similarity that a living person had. This is important especially if you want to visit them in the chapel.
   • Of course, know that the person in the photo must be healthy. The goal of the funeral administrator is for the deceased to resemble a living person as much as possible, as his family remembered him, so that he should not look sickly.
   • Also note that there are some circumstances where the director does not recommend examination, and be aware that these circumstances of death may result in the director and embalmer being unable to restore the deceased to a proper appearance.
5. 5 Ask for a donation instead of flowers. In doing this, the deceased is believed to have believed in certain things.
6. 6 Leave a guestbook so people can leave their addresses if they want. This will allow you to see who came, as on the day of the funeral you will be depressed and you will not have a chance to talk to the grieving people.
7. 7 Place a death notice in the newspaper. With the help of this, people who did not know that the person died can be found out. It can be a local newspaper, or if the person had friends in other cities, you can submit ads to other newspapers (for example, if a person moved from the place where he grew up, it would be good to submit to the newspaper where he previously lived maybe there will be people there who want to know this).
8. 8 Plan your funeral ahead of time to avoid confusion and stress. There is an excellent Memory Preferences tool that comes in the form of a book, a checklist page, it includes a to-do list, drug, family, military, financial records, obituary outline, and an advice page.

Tips

• If you receive flowers, write down a description and who they are from before discarding. Living in a house full of flowers can only make your condition worse.
• Get help. People want to help you, but sometimes they are helpless.
• Take the book What a misfortune... She is small, but she can help you.
