Options For Your Funeral Services

By Thelma Kent


There are many funeral services San Mateo that are quite expensive and leave the family feeling as though they do not have closure. There are ways to ensure that your family and friends are able to see you or your loved one and get the closure and favorable memory that some are deprived of, when they see your plan for the service. Here is some information you may want to know to help you make decisions on your service.

When you plan, you should figure out what kind of services you will need. If you want cremation, you should think about having some kind of viewing before this happens so that your family can tell you goodbye in person. There are numerous psychologists that say people are able to better deal with death when they can see the person who passed away and then come to terms with the fact they are gone.

If you feel that you just want an embalming and service, there are options you have such as how long your viewing will be. Most people use a one day only viewing which is followed by their burial, but you could have as long as you need so that people who are far away have the chance to come. Then you have to figure out where and how you want to be interred.

Interment can take place with you in an urn into a columbarium niche, or in a casket alone or with a loved one if you are cremated. If you are only embalmed or not embalmed, you may be placed into a mausoleum, crypt or grave site of your choice in the cemetery you choose. Some religions dictate specific areas, although you are not bound to these rules and may choose whatever options you like.

You could do your preplanning prior to when you need it so that you can have your services paid off before you ever need them, and the price will not change over time. So you save your loved ones the heartache of planning, and the stress of trying to decide how they would pay for it when they might not be able to do so.

For details on the funeral services San Mateo options you have, you should go to a local funeral home and talk to the director. She or he can give you info on the practices of the cemetery you want to use and anything else you might need to know about the practices of your religion. Your prices will be based on whatever level of service and options you choose.
