Planning a Funeral Home Service is a difficult experience for those left behind. Many families find that the expensive, traditional funeral home service does not meet their needs. Cascade Memorial offers an alternative that provides all of the services needed during this time except a costly funeral home.
The most important service that any funeral home can provide is an explanation of the available options offered by a calm and compassionate person. Families don’t always know just what they’d like or need to do. Many families have limited financial resources, but that doesn’t in any way lessen their desire for an appropriate memorial service.
Cremation as an Option
Many families prefer not to have the traditional, open casket funeral. Their loved one may have expressed a desire to avoid that type of expensive funeral or they may feel that, for their family, a more traditional funeral isn’t the best choice. Whatever the reason, cremation is an option that works better for many. It offers a degree of flexibility for memorial services that can be necessary for a family. The timing of the service becomes a matter of choice, which is important if family members are unable to come immediately.
Traditional Funerals
There are a number of local venues suitable for traditional funerals of any size. All of the services that would be provided by any funeral home are available, with the exception of holding the funeral at the funeral home. All assistance will be given in locating a suitable venue.
Taking Care of the Details
There are a lot of paperwork and other necessary details involved in a death, whether everything is done locally or if arrangements must be made for a traditional funeral in a distant location. Ensuring all of that is taken care of as carefully and thoughtfully as possible is one of the most important services provided by a funeral home.
Pre-Planning
It is a little easier when the service was planned in advance of need. It’s a thoughtful act of caring that is appreciated by loved ones during a very stressful and emotional time.
Cascade Memorial has been providing a less-traditional Funeral Home Service for many Northwest families. The cost is less, but only the most friendly and compassionate personal service is provided.
