When someone in your family passes on, you contact funeral homes in Daytona Beach, FL to help plan and implement their final services. Once you know what the costs of the service are, you might reach out to family members for help financing the choices you are making. Or, you might have people coming to you, wanting to help in some way. While you could discuss the bottom line of the package you have chosen and have people chip in what they can, some family members might appreciate buying something specifically for the service. They can then see the specific way their money is being used. Here are a few things you could offer to family members as things they could purchase for the process.
The Casket
The casket your loved one uses is a personal choice and you will probably want a close family member to make this purchase. You can let them buy what you have already chosen or what you know your loved one wanted. Or you can even allow them to choose something and then buy it. The casket is an important part of the overall funeral since it will be at the visitation and funeral and it will be your loved one’s final resting place in the grave.
The Service Facilities
Whether you decide to have a funeral in the funeral home, or in a church or another such location, there are likely going to be costs to rent the facilities for a certain length of time. One family member could cover the costs of the rooms you need for that event to ensure that there is enough space for your family to mourn together when honoring your loved one.
The Headstone
Another highly personal, and permanent, part of the service is the headstone you put on the grave. You could let a family member pay for that part of the process and they could even also have a hand in planning out which headstone to use and what it says on the headstone, if you wish. The headstone is a necessary part of the burial process and will always be on the grave so you want it to be special.
The Reception
Another part of the service that is more off to the side is the reception you will likely want to have after the funeral service is complete. You can have a loved one pay for that meal, location, and other costs that might go into it. They can even plan it if that is needed as well.
There are other things that family members might want to pay for in conjunction with funeral homes in Daytona Beach, FL, and services you are setting up for a loved one who has passed away. While they can just chip in whatever they can to the final prices you have, you could also break things down into certain items or services they could purchase to help out.
