Do you have questions specific to the burial process? Do you wonder what happens to your loved one lost after the funeral service is over? Getting answers to these questions now can offer greater peace of mind when the time comes to attend a funeral for a loved one.

Knowing about the funeral process not only helps relieve stress during future funerals, but it also helps you pre-arrange your own service. Do you have questions before you begin planning your final wishes?

If you want to know answers to questions about burials, 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 questions she’s asked about burials in Vancouver.

The funeral industry offers a wide range of services. This interview is a chance to learn more about burials as part of a funeral process.

Questions about Burials in Greater Vancouver

Valerie begins the episode by addressing the rumor that there is no room for burial in Vancouver. She also explains the facts behind this popular urban myth.

Next Valerie offers an alternate option regarding families who have ancestors buried within the picturesque Mountain View Cemetery, which is the oldest cemetery in Vancouver.

If you have grandparents, or even older relatives buried in Mountain View Cemetery, then you may wish to contact Martin Brothers to discuss options for pre-planning your funeral wishes.

Questions about Time Constraints and Funerals

Then Valerie turns to the topic of scheduling certain aspects of the funeral process. During the podcast she also answers these questions:

How soon after a death does the funeral have to happen?
What happens to my loved one if the service is delayed?
Do I have to wait a year to place a monument on a grave?
When can I order the monument for a graveside burial?
How do I know the monument will look okay once installed?

Now ask yourself these two questions: Do I have specific wishes regarding my burial? Do I have more questions about this part of the funeral process? If you answered “Yes” to either or both, then use the information below to contact Martin Brothers for more information.

Questions about Funeral Service Details

Next Valerie segues into answers for questions about arranging other details surrounding the funeral, such as getting a venue for the service, catering, flowers, and so forth.

Martin Brothers believes that after losing a loved one, friends and family should be able to spend their time mourning the loss.

Having someone you trust take care of the footwork for arranging funeral details allows you to support the friends and family who need you during this sensitive time. Could you benefit from a funeral home that offers this level of service?

Valerie wraps things up by sharing answers to some final questions about the burial process.
