There isn’t one solution for every funeral plan, which is why we take time to talk to the family and share information about available services. Through these conversations, you can learn about the industry and then finalize services that are an ideal fit for your unique needs. We believe that funeral planning should be as individualized as the person we honor.

What specific details and activities would you like to include in this plan? Share your vision and desires, and we will work hard to make sure the event matches this plan.

Our approach is to provide the perfect amount of information about options and services that are relevant to your needs. First, we ask questions to learn about your family and preferences, then guide you through the process so you can explore the different types of funeral plans that are available.

One common issue people face with funeral planning is that they feel overwhelmed by the many decisions relating to the event and services. How do you choose the ideal funeral plan for yourself or a loved one when so many possibilities are available? Too many options can be stressful, especially if you are worried about planning the “perfect” funeral service.

Instead of trying to handle all of these decisions at the same time, a better solution is to break them down into funeral planning categories. Our team at C.R. Lyons & Sons Funeral Directors has a systemized funeral and cremation planning process in Peabody, MA.

First, we will discuss how you want to lay the person to rest. Do you have a specific method or location where you want the final resting place? The most common solutions are cremation or burial. With cremation, you have flexibility about where the ashes go: in a memorial urn, scattered, or placed in cremation jewelry. With interment, you can choose the cemetery, burial plot, headstone, and other details to honor your loved one’s memories.

The next step in the funeral planning process is to consider how you want to hold the event in their remembrance. It’s not required that you hold a funeral or memorial service. But many families want to gather as a way to share memories and dedicate a day to showing love for the deceased. In fact, this gathering is often an important part of the healing process because people find closure in the activities.

There are different timelines when families reach out to our team for support with funeral planning. Sometimes, the event is completely unexpected, which means that the family contacts us for immediate support. In this situation, we are working on a deadline so that the funeral and burial or cremation can be planned as soon as possible.

Another common scenario is that people start planning a funeral when they know that this service will be held in the upcoming months or weeks. For example, if a loved one receives a diagnosis, then the family starts planning right away to allow the person to be involved.

The last option for a funeral planning timeline is to start with preplanning right away. Then, people in outstanding health with many more years to live can talk to us about their future funeral plans. Preplanning is a way to make your wishes known while reducing the burden your family will experience after you are gone.

There are many options for funeral and cremation in Peabody, MA, which is why it’s essential to talk to a funeral director. Contact the experts at C.R.
