Funeral Arrangements
At the arrangement conference the funeral director will need to ask you a variety of questions. The answers to these questions will be used to complete different documents, forms and permits. Information about the deceased, such as full legal name, date and place of birth, usual occupation, legal address, father's name and birthplace, and mother's maiden name and birthplace will be needed.
Information for the obituary/life history is often obtained at this time. Items such as date and place of marriage, how long the person had lived in the area, education, their employment history, member of any clubs or organizations, hobbies and interests, survivors and those predeceased are usually included in the obituary. If the family desires, we will also list their preferences for memorial gifts.
The funeral director will discuss with the family their preferences for the funeral date, time and location, who they would like to have officiating at the service, musical selections, organist, vocalist, pallbearers, ushers, luncheons, radio announcements, press notices and the cemetery they will be using for the interment.
The director will also assist each family with different merchandise options, such as caskets, urns, flowers, funeral stationery, monuments as well as other funeral merchandise.
