Pre planning your own funeral is probably not something you often think about but making funeral arrangements is important for both your family and yourself. Pre planning your funeral is not only cheaper but will also ease the burden from your family who will obviously be emotional at such a time and may find the task stressful and challenging.
Nowadays, making funeral arrangements includes many factors. Once you have decided which kind of funeral you will have, you then have to decide where to hold the funeral or memorial service. Many people use their church if it’s to be a religious service or local funeral homes which provide enough space to hold both services. Normally, a funeral or memorial service is held within a few days or even a week of the death. If you opt for cremation then this can be a little longer if desired.
The funeral house can advise you on caskets, plots and plaques and other factors and are knowledgeable in their field so listen to their advice on all aspects of the service.
You will now need to decide on what your funeral service will contain, for example, flowers and which songs are to be heard. You may want certain hymns or poems or your own personal poem to be, so you will need to tell the funeral director of your preferences and choices.
Too many speakers, and too many poems can make the service drag on. Generally services run for approximately one hour. Try and choose certain friends or family members that you would like to see speak at your funeral.
When your funeral has been planned, then tell friends and family of your funeral arrangements. Advise them on where to find relevant paperwork etc and remember to revise your service accordingly every two to three years to keep it as up to date as you can.

Nowadays in Canada around one third of all deaths are followed by cremation. This is an increase of around 15% in the last fifteen years and, in some parts of Canada, cremation is still rising.
Although not to everyones taste, cremation should be understood and carried out by your family if it is your preference. Cremation consists of burning the human body at a very high temperature, and reducing the bone fragments to ash. Bigger bones are broken down and pulverised. These ashes are then kept in an Urn, either provided by the family, or funeral home. This Urn can then be kept at the family home or indeed at a columbarium.
Research shows that nearly thirty percent of the population of Canada choose cremation over burial for financial reasons. Without the need of a head stone and grave site the cost of cremations can be considerably lower than a coffin or casket, again saving you money.
Research also shows that around fourteen percent of people choose to be cremated because it is less stressful, emotional and allot easier than a normal burial.
Cremations are maybe on the increase due to the fact that the ‘ashes’ can be scattered where the deceased has chosen or even one of their favourite places making it more personal than a burial. These days with people on the move all the time it may not be convenient to place a loved one in a local cemetery away from friends and family who will be unable to visit. Keeping your loved ones ashes in an Urn will ensure your close by.
Services can still be held when you are cremated and poems and speeches read by close friends and family. Specifically dedicated songs and hymns can be played for a more personal touch.

In Canada a funeral is typically divided into three stages.
At the ‘visitation’ ceremony the embalmed body of the deceased is placed in an open coffin or casket so friends and family can pay their last respects. This generally takes place one or two days prior to the funeral.
After the ‘visitation’ ceremony the ‘funeral’ is held in either a funeral home or church. This includes the reading of poems, prayers and speeches by close friends and family. The singing of hymns and a word of comfort from the clergy will also be heard. Finally the casket or coffin is closed for the last time.
The final ‘burial service’ is conducted at the graveside and family or pallbearers are able to carry the casket to the grave.
