A funeral service takes place with the body present, either in a casket (burial) or in an urn following cremation. A memorial service takes place without the body present and can occur days, weeks, or even months after the death — making it more flexible for families with members who need to travel. Both types of services can be religious or secular, formal or informal, and can include visitation, eulogies, music, and any rituals meaningful to the family. Many families choose a direct cremation followed by a separate memorial service, which separates the immediate practical arrangements from the community gathering that celebrates the person's life.

Pre-planning involves making your funeral arrangements in advance while you are healthy and clear-minded. You document your wishes for disposition (burial or cremation), service type, music, readings, and any specific preferences, and may also pre-pay for services at current prices. Pre-planning relieves your family of having to make difficult decisions under emotional stress and time pressure. It ensures your wishes are carried out rather than leaving choices to others. Pre-paid funeral plans can also protect assets in certain financial circumstances. There is no obligation or commitment required for an initial pre-planning consultation — most funeral homes offer this as a free service.

Funeral costs vary significantly based on the services chosen. Direct cremation — the simplest option with no embalming, viewing, or formal service — typically starts around $700-$1,500. A cremation with a memorial service runs $2,000-$5,000 depending on the service level. Traditional burial services including embalming, viewing, ceremony, casket, and burial plot typically range from $7,000-$12,000 or more. Cemetery costs, headstones, obituaries, flowers, and reception costs are separate. Funeral homes are required to provide itemized price lists so families can select only the services they want. Pre-planning at current prices protects against future cost increases.

If the death occurs at home under hospice care or expected circumstances, contact the hospice nurse or attending physician to confirm the death and obtain the necessary documentation. If the death is unexpected or occurs outside of medical care, call 911. Once appropriate authorities have been notified, contact a funeral home — they will guide you through every subsequent step including transportation, death certificate filing, and arranging services. You do not need to have a funeral home selected in advance; most funeral homes are available 24/7 and will walk you through the immediate steps. Focus on notifying immediate family first, then allow the funeral director to handle the logistics.
