If someone close to you dies, are you aware of the different ways to create a meaningful funeral experience? Do you know all the available customs and traditions to celebrate them? Planning a funeral for a loved one lost is one of the greatest opportunities to honor them after they’re gone.

When planning a funeral for a loved one, it is hard to balance decision making and grief. Would you like to know more about how a funeral chapel in Vancouver can assist with arranging customs and traditions to help honor a deceased family member or other loved one?

If you want to know more about funeral customs and traditions, then listen to this episode of Forever in their Hearts, where host Erik Reynolds talks with Valerie Martell, Director of Operations for Martin Brothers Funeral Services about different ways to plan a meaningful funeral experience.

Today’s funerals offer a wide range of options for customization. This interview is an opportunity to learn more about what’s available for people living in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Creating a Meaningful Funeral for a Loved One

The episode kicks off with Valerie explaining how people look to family traditions for funerals based on religion, culture, or something else from their inner circle.

No two families are alike, and as Valerie explains during the podcast, nothing is really set in stone when it comes to how to plan a funeral.

If you’re looking to plan a funeral for a recently departed loved one, or even for pre-arranging a funeral for your own final wishes, then finding out important customs and traditions can help.

Unique and Non-Traditional Funeral Services

Then Valerie explains what happens for people who may not have any special customs or traditions. She also answers questions such as:

- Why do we need to have funerals as a community?
- What if I don’t know my family’s funeral customs?
- In a time of unique services, is it okay to plan a traditional funeral?

Now ask yourself these two questions: Do I want traditional funeral customs and experiences for a service that celebrates my life? Am I interested in pre-arranging funeral plans to relieve my family of that stressful burden?

If you answered “Yes” to either or both questions, then visit the Martin Brothers website, linked below, to learn more about their services or start the funeral pre-planning process.

Ensuring the Details Take Place after Your Passing

Next Valerie explains some benefits of pre-arranging your funeral services before your life unexpectedly ends.

Valerie goes on to explain how you can be sure your funeral pre-arrangement details will be locked in and honored after your passing.

Funerals come in all shapes and sizes, just like people. You deserve to be remembered and honored for the things that make you unique.

The podcast wraps up with Valerie sharing her final thoughts about funeral customs and experiences to create a meaningful celebration of life.
