When you make funeral pre-arrangements, you are giving your family the opportunity to give you a final gift to honor how you want your life celebrated after you’re gone. Have you contacted a Vancouver funeral home to start your funeral pre-arrangements?

If you want to know more about pre-arranging a funeral service, 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 decisions regarding funeral pre-arrangement decisions.

Arranging your final wishes ahead of time can allow your family to move through the stages of grief without the stress of figuring out the details for your memorial service. This interview is a chance to learn other benefits of funeral pre-arrangements.

Making Decisions about Your Pre-Arrangements

The episode kicks off with Valerie explaining where you should begin once you make the decision to pre-arrange your funeral or memorial service.

Then she explains what happens when you go to the funeral home for an appointment for pre-arrangement, including how much time you should set aside to spend talking to the funeral director.

If you plan out your funeral wishes, then you can make sure that religious rites and other traditions are carried out in the way that you want after you depart this earth.

What You Need to Begin Pre-Arrangements

Next Valerie explains the things required for you to start making funeral pre-arrangement decisions. During the podcast she also answers questions such as the ones listed here:

- What if I don’t know what I want for my funeral service?
- Should I share my final wishes with anyone else?
- Are there any legal documents that I need to bring?
- What options are there besides cremation and burial services?
- How many meetings does it take to narrow down everything?

Now ask yourself these two questions: Have I given any thought to my final wishes? Is there someone who knows how I want to be remembered after I’m gone? If you answered “No” to either, then you are the perfect candidate for funeral pre-arrangement services.

The Many Advantages of Funeral Pre-Arrangement

Valerie then directs the conversation to the practical side of pre-arranging a funeral for residents of Vancouver, or any of the nearby areas in British Columbia.

She goes on to explain how making funeral pre-arrangements now while you can still make those decisions can help your family and friends after the time of your death.

Knowing that your final wishes are settled gives you the peace of mind in knowing that your family will not have to wade through guesswork to make those decisions for you. Are you ready to make an appointment with Martin Brothers to discuss your arrangements?
