Reduce The Stress Of Planning A Funeral Organising yourself and arranging a funeral is difficult for anyone who has just lost someone close to them. However, you can reduce the stress of planning a funeral and keep on top of everything without becoming overwhelmed by following a few simple steps.
For over 95 years, we at Arthur Bell Funeral Directors have provided a range of funeral services and exceptional care for families wishing to lay loved ones at rest. We care deeply about meeting every individual’s needs and doing so with the utmost respect and dignity.
Planning for a funeral can be stressful for those who have recently lost a loved one, but there are a few ways to help reduce this stress at a time when a lot can feel quite overwhelming.
Arrange A Pre-Paid Funeral A pre-paid funeral is simply a package deal including everything you need for a traditional or modern send-off, depending on your needs. We work closely with Golden Charter Funeral Plans to make sure your loved one receives the professional service they deserve.
With five plans to choose from, there is a lot of choice meaning you can organise exactly the funeral you want. A few of the features included in all five pre-paid funeral plans are:
Advice on the certification and registration of the death and other documentation A coffin Collection and transportation of the deceased Care of the deceased before burial or cremation 24-hour telephone support
Depending on which plan you choose, there are many options to choose from to help reduce the stress of planning a funeral. Whether you want a no-fuss direct cremation or a traditional, comprehensive funeral plan, the options are there to pick from.
Other Tips While a pre-paid funeral arrangement can help to reduce the stress of planning a funeral, there are a couple more things you can keep in mind to help the process proceed as smoothly as possible.
When arranging a funeral, you will need lots of documents that are easily accessible. We would suggest that you collect these documents and keep them all in one small folder so that if you need anything, you know exactly where it is and don’t need to worry about it.
Some of the documentation you will need includes:
Birth and marriage certificates Medical certificate of the cause of death Organ Donor Card Insurance policies NHS medical card or number
Choose A Professional The important thing to remember when organising a funeral is to arrange one with a professional, experienced funeral director. Here at Arthur Bell Funeral Directors, we have been organising funerals for nearly 100 years and we are proud to be able to help our local community in their time of great need.
