Do you have questions about your family\u2019s funeral options in Vancouver? Are you unsure how to get started, and how to make sure your wishes are realized? If you haven\u2019t considered planning your funeral services in advance, then you could be unwillingly adding stress on your family.

The different types of funerals and celebrations of life offered today are as unique as the departed, for whom they are planned. Families who plan in advance not only save time and money, but also stress. Have you made your funeral wishes known to your loved ones?

If you\u2019re interested in learning more about funeral options in Vancouver then you\u2019ll want to invest 20 minutes to listen to this edition of Forever In their Hearts podcast where your host Erik Reynolds interviews Valerie Martell, Director of Operations for Martin Brothers Funeral Services in Vancouver about the different types of funerals and celebrations of life, where services can be held, and questions about getting started and making sure wishes are realized.

Some people are even planning green funerals. Canada.com* says people are reducing their carbon footprint with things like biodegradable caskets. This interview is an opportunity to learn which funeral options in Vancouver are available to help you plan the celebration of your life.

What Types of Services You Can Choose from in Vancouver

The episode kicks off with Valerie wasting no time diving into the heart of the topic about what kind of funeral options in Vancouver are available for you and your family. Funerals are as individual as the person being memorialized.

Today\u2019s funerals are a blend of traditional and contemporary options. Valerie explains what it means to have a funeral, a memorial, or a celebration of life, and then contrasts the differences between each of the three types of services.

If this all sounds unfamiliar and you haven\u2019t made any plans about your unique service, then you could be putting the burden of planning on your loved ones.

How to Make Sure Your Final Wishes Are Realized

Services at a funeral chapel that are led by a religious figure like a priest or minister are common, but what if you don\u2019t go to church? During the podcast Valerie discusses this and also goes on to answer these questions.

- Where do I start when planning my funeral?
- How do I know I\u2019m not forgetting anything?
- Can I be sure that my wishes will be respected?

Now ask yourself these two questions. Do you want to relieve your family of the stress of guessing about your final wishes? Have you discussed what funeral options in Vancouver your family members might want for their own services? If you answered no to either, then it\u2019s time to think about the benefits of funeral pre-planning.

How to Guarantee Your Wishes for Your Service

Next Valerie explains a way to make sure your wishes for your service are honored, and offers a quick and easy way to complete the process on your computer from the comfort of your own home.

Then Valerie goes on to describe how to take the next step in the process. She informs about the one thing you can do to guarantee that your wishes are respected and how Canadian laws protect those wishes.

When it comes to funeral options in Vancouver, there are so many benefits for planning in advance. What\u2019s keeping you from discussing this sensitive topic with your family?

The episode wraps up with Valerie offering some advice about sharing your funeral wishes with your loved ones as well as information about the first step you can take to begin the process.
