If you over the age of 40, then it might be a very good idea for you to begin thinking about your funeral. This is not to sound morbid, but planning ahead can actually take a lot of stress off your children or other family members who will be dealing with your loss. If you would like to plan out your memorial service, choose a casket or even the manner of your burial, the funeral home at Albany, OR will be more than happy to help you make these all important decisions.

You might be wondering why it is important to plan your own memorial service. Not only is it a very thoughtful gesture to the rest of your family, but doing it now will also allow you to carefully map out all that you want to say and communicate in word or demonstration before you are gone. If you are concerned about the future, planning out your memorial service will also help relieve some of that stress knowing that your family will be looking after you at the very end. Funerals can cost money as well, which can be an added stress factor for your family, but planning ahead and pre-funding for everything in advance will also take away this anxiety.

Here at Aasum-Dufour Funeral Home in Albany OR, we can offer you a detailed checklist of all the decision you will need to make before the time for your funeral comes around.

Choosing the manner of your burial is a very important decision and one that many family members stress about especially if their loved one did not make any specifications.

You can even pick out your own casket (occasionally referred to as a coffin), your own vault as well as the cemetery you would like to be buried in. The more decisions you can make now, the better and easier you will make it for your family who will have enough to deal with at the time already.
