Agree Upon An Urn And Details For A Loved One's Cremation Ceremony

If your mother was an integral part of you and your siblings lives and spent numerous hours selflessly tending to each of your needs, celebrating her life with a personalized cremation service will demonstrate everyone's respect and eternal devotion to your loved one. Come together with your siblings to decide upon an urn and details for the cremation ceremony.

Discuss The Urn And Agree Upon Its Design

First, you and your siblings should choose where an urn will be permanently displayed after a cremation ceremony. If family gatherings are predominantly held at your house or one of your sibling's homes, the urn can be displayed in a den or living area so that everyone can view it during each social occasion.

If this idea does not sit well with you or one of the others, then choosing smaller urns is a possibility. Each individual's urn can be constructed of the same material and have the same inscription added to it.

If any of you are undecided about the urn, make an appointment to meet with the director of the furneral home to voice uncertainties and receive guidance with choosing an urn size and style.

Plan The Ceremony

Although each of you are grieving and may feel as if life will never be satisfying again, it is important to ban together and allow one another to express their feelings aloud. A nonconfrontational coffee hour or meal that is served at your home may help each person cope with the loss and feel as if they have others to lean on during this troubling time.

Ease into a conversation about your mom's cremation ceremony by stating some ideas that you have concerning the decorations that you would like to be displayed or some song selections that you think are representative of your mom.

Once your thoughts are revealed, others may join in and add to what you have stated, describing what they would like added to a ceremony. Hand out pens and paper and politely ask each person to write down all of the suggestions. Tell your siblings that you would like them to read over the suggestions after they head back home and write down additional ideas if they come to light.

Specify a time that you would like to meet with everyone again. During the subsequent meeting, everyone needs to come to an agreement concerning the details of the ceremony.
