Death is often an unexpected event. Nothing hurts like losing a loved one. The thought of burying or cremating the deceased may be far from the families’ thoughts. However, in most traditions, the deceased should be buried within a period of one week. This means that although you are grieving, you need to plan for a funeral service. Family members and friends may assist you in planning the funeral service.
However, you need to consider a funeral package to determine the budget for the funeral ceremony. Here are some great reasons to choose funeral packages in Singapore.
Cost-effective
One may argue that planning on your own is cheap. However, the truth is that funeral packages contain several fundamental things that you may miss out on your funeral arrangements. Moreover, there are different packages depending on your financial situation. Before you choose a funeral package, ask yourself whether it meets the deceased’s or family wishes. You can find the best package by comparing quotes from different funeral directors.
They will personalise the service
The funeral service should be planned based on the deceased or family wishes. Whether you are arranging a Catholic funeral service or a Buddhist funeral service ceremony, the package will include personalising the event according to your needs.
Stress-free
Choosing a funeral package relieves stress. You no longer have to worry of where to get the casket, search for a hearse, prepare the body, and arrange the body viewing and embalming services. Once hired, the service provider is tasked to ensure that everything goes on as per the family’s wish.
Experience
By choosing a funeral package, you are hiring an independent funeral company to arrange the funeral service. When choosing these packages, it is ideal that you consider the experience of the service provider. An experienced funeral provider has the skills to arrange a dignified funeral service. These professionals will also advise you on the best place to hold the funeral service, gravesite and other queries you may have.
Take care of the logistics
There are lots of things that should be planned for a dignified funeral service. These tasks can be overwhelming to the family considering the short period of time. The advantage of choosing a package is that these tasks are inclusive in the package. Some of the logistics may include liaising with cemeteries, organising floral arrangement, embalming services, video recording, tents, chair and tables, eulogy printing, among others. It is advisable to check on the package as these services differ from one funeral service provider to the other.
Flexibility
Professional funeral service is usually flexible. Their packages are also flexible as you can choose what to exclude and include in the package. You can also suggest services you may need on the funeral service.
Finally, choosing a funeral package guarantees continuity of service. As you mourn your beloved, these professionals will be ensuring that everything else runs smoothly. You may also consider hiring a funeral director to assist in the funeral plans. The good thing with the independent funeral directors is that they have the facilities and expertise required on a funeral day.
