Does your family have a funeral home to call on in times of unthinkable tragedies? Have you pre-planned your funeral? If you don’t select a funeral home before you need one, then choosing one on the fly could add more stress to an already tense situation.

Choosing the right funeral home in Vancouver is only part of your decision if a loved one dies. Are you aware of all the different options for services to honor that person’s life as well?

If you want to know more about how you can choose the right funeral parlor, then listen to this episode of Forever in their Hearts, where host Erik Reynolds talks with Valerie Martell, Director of Operations for Martin Brothers Funeral Services about how to make the tough choices in advance.

Death is often unexpected and often happens outside of normal business hours. The British Columbia Funeral Association* states funeral home human resources are available 24-hours per day, 7-days per week. This interview is a chance to find the right funeral home for your family’s needs.

Step One - Finding the Right Funeral Home in Vancouver

This episode kicks off with Valerie sharing some tips for selecting a funeral home. During the podcast she gives the same advice to listeners as she gives to anyone who calls Martin Brothers Funeral Services with these questions.

Funeral homes offer a wide range of services, but not all funerals offer the same options. For example, only one funeral home in Vancouver offers dedicated scattering at sea for cremated remains.

If you have no idea where to begin with choosing a funeral home, then it’s time to talk to your family about the ones that serve your community so that you’re ready in the event of a personal loss.

Step Two - Knowing the Value of Services

Then Valerie tackles the topic of prices when choosing the right funeral home in Vancouver. During the podcast she answers these frequently asked questions:

- How can I know that I’m getting a good value of services for the price?
- Is price the only factor to consider when I select funeral services?
- Does Martin Brothers offer services for me if I have a small budget?

Now ask yourself these two questions: Do I understand the benefits that a funeral home offers? Has my family selected a Vancouver funeral home that serves our community? If you answered “No” to either or both, then it’s time to contact Martin Brothers to discuss your options.

Step Three - Discuss this Choice with Your Loved Ones

Next Valerie reminds that people don’t interact with funeral homes every day. She shares ways that you can discuss your choice with others to help them make the right choice as well.

Sharing your experience, especially if it’s a positive one, can benefit other families and help put other their minds at ease when they are faced with the decision of choosing a Vancouver funeral home.

Martin Brothers offers so many different services that can help celebrate the life of your departed loved one. What’s keeping you from visiting their website to see what they offer, or pre-plan your own final wishes?

The episode wraps up with Valerie sharing a few final tips to help you choose the right funeral home to help your family during a time of mourning.
