The time between a person’s death and the funeral or memorial service can be as short as a day or two. How does a family have time to put together all those details?

If you want to know more about preparing for a funeral or memorial, 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 the funeral chapel staff can help.

A lot happens in a short amount of time after a person dies. This interview is an opportunity to learn how a funeral chapel can assist your family in these situations.

The Next Step after a Loved One Passes

The episode begins with Valerie sympathizing that death is never easy. She shares the next step you should do as soon as possible after you find out that a loved one has passed.

With so many years working in the funeral industry, Valerie knows how the funeral chapel can best serve a family after the death of someone they care about.

If you aren’t sure about what happens next, then taking with a Vancouver funeral director ahead of time can help take some of the guesswork out of funeral planning.

After Meeting with the Funeral Director

The next part of preparing for a funeral or memorial Valerie talks about is what families need to do after meeting with the funeral director. She also takes a few moments to answer these questions:

- What can the funeral home be responsible for, and what do I need to do?
- What is the most important thing my family can do after a loved one’s death?
- Can the funeral home offer suggestions to help me make some decisions?
- Who else from the funeral home besides the director helps plan the service?

Now ask yourself these two questions: Could I use help with preparing for a funeral or memorial when the time comes? Do I want to prearrange my own final wishes?

If you answered yes to either question, then use the contact details below to talk to Martin Brothers in Vancouver. They can answer all your questions and help you get started.

Communicating Your Family’s Needs

Then Valerie segues to what kind of communication is needed between the family and the funeral home while funeral home preparations are underway.

Valerie tells listeners the exact same thing she tells the families who come into the Vancouver funeral chapel for assistance, and then explains why she offers this extra detail.

After normal business hours, the funeral home has a service that answers telephone calls and distributes them accordingly. Can you see how this might benefit planning a service for your loved one lost?

Valerie wraps things up by sharing a few final thoughts, including advice to help families enter the grieving process in an emotionally healthy way.

Could You Use Help with Planning a Service?
