As more people choose to make their Funeral Arrangements in San Antonio TX in advance, they realize how may details go into the planning. There’s the matter of deciding whether to be buried or cremated, what needs to be included in the obituary, and a number of other matters to address. One that is sometimes taken for granted is where the memorial service will take place. By considering different venues, it’s possible to ensure loved ones aren’t left scrambling for a place at the last minute.
The Chapel at the Funeral Home
Many people decide to go with the use of a chapel at the funeral home. This is an excellent choice for those who prefer to keep the process as uncomplicated as possible. The director who helps with the advance Funeral Arrangements in San Antonio TX can ensure that the written instructions left on file note that the chapel is to be used as well as one of the reposing rooms if a viewing is scheduled prior to the funeral.
A House of Worship
Some people have deep connections with their religious faiths and would prefer for the service to take place at the house of worship they attended while alive. With this approach, the director will ensure arrangements are made to transport the casket or urn to that location. As part of the arrangements, the director will also consult with the clergy at that house of worship and ensure everything is done in plenty of time for the actual service.
A Graveside Service
People who choose to live simply may also want to keep their final arrangements as simple as possible. A dignified but short graveside service is also a possibility. If the client opted for cremation, the service can take place at the memorial garden or wherever the ashes will be scattered.
Remember that the planning is not done until a site is selected for the memorial service. Doing so will ensure that grieving loved ones will have fewer decisions to make, and no one will have to speculate about what the departed would have wanted.
