Going into the funeral home to make arrangements when someone has passed away can be a nerve-wracking experience. Do you know what to expect? Are you even sure where you’d begin? Making funeral arrangements is the final act of respect we can offer a loved one lost.

Making funeral arrangements can be difficult, especially if the deceased failed to take advantage of funeral pre-planning services. Wouldn’t you like to know what to expect when it comes to making funeral arrangements, either for a loved one or your own preplans?

If you want to know more about making funeral arrangements, 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 in Vancouver about what to expect.

Knowing what to expect can take some of the nervousness out of making funeral arrangements. This interview from Martin Brothers is an opportunity to do just that.

What to Expect when Making Funeral Arrangements

Valerie kicks off the episode by explaining what you can expect when it comes time to go to the funeral home to make arrangements after someone you love has passed away.

Then Valerie goes on to describe the atmosphere at Martin Brothers Funeral Home in Vancouver and how families can expect to feel during the process.

If you’re nervous about making funeral arrangements or pre-planning your own final wishes, then going to a consultation at a funeral home can help get you over those initial qualms.

The Right Time to Make Funeral Arrangements

Next Valerie talks about when is the right time to make arrangements after a loved one dies. During the podcast she also answers these questions:

- What if a family member dies in the middle of the night?
- If I’m not ready to make arrangements, what are my options?
- What information do I need to bring when making arrangements?

Now ask yourself these two questions: Do I want to know more about making arrangements? Am I ready to pre-plan my funeral wishes to relieve my family of that burden?

If you answered “Yes” to either or both questions, then visit the Martin Brothers website, linked below, to ask questions or begin your funeral pre-planning process.

What Funeral Arrangements Cost in Vancouver

Then Valerie talks about what a full service funeral costs, and how you can hold a tasteful funeral within your family’s budget.

Valerie goes on to discuss the different levels of service available and what Martin Brothers is required to do by law.

The last thing you need while grieving a loved one lost is the shock of the price of making funeral arrangements. Martin Brothers can put together a dignified service at any price point.

The podcast wraps up with Valerie sharing some final thoughts and comments about making funeral arrangements.
