Some psychological barriers and taboos still exist around planning ahead for your own funeral, however more and more people are opting to take positive control of their own destiny in a number of ways. The ultimate purpose of the funeral process is to comfort the living and allow them to honour a life well lived and to achieve closure. I believe that one of the best ways to ease this period of transition is by preplanning, thereby alleviating confusion, and making your wishes known. Here are some very informative sites that I found in my search for guides and practices surrounding the making of cremation urns. I've listed Funeral and Memorial Society of America, The Funeral Services Association of British Columbia, as well as GriefNet, a wonderful support site with online counselling among other things, and a search bar for Growth House, with access to information on everything from pain management, hospice, aftercare, and much more. The information I gathered during my research have helped me to make informed, intelligent choices. I hope you find them as useful as I have. |
