valuable tips before the conclusion of a funeral contract or burial provision
Welcome to my blog advice and help with burials. Again and again I meet in different forums on the same questions: What
funeral home can you recommend?
burial or cremation? What is more expensive?
Can I take the urn back home.
How much does a funeral?
How do I know if what is on the bill is in fact supplied. For example, in the case of the burial equipment?
Before going to the most frequently Issues related to burial detail, I want to give you a brief insight into why this blog was created:
I had a brother who at the age of 27 years died in an accident. The experiences we have made at that time including the funeral were hair-raising. The experience of a loved one suddenly and have to give up forever is tragic enough. Then still deal with the issue of burial is almost impossible. We did not know much. So, also, that it is possible to choose the funeral home free. We have then taken the funeral home, which by the police for rescue at the scene, was commissioned.
That the body of my brother dressed in ruffled shirt and bow tie, was just then I could not prevent. We would like to have taken leave, which prevented the person in charge of the criminal investigation then by all means. Six months after the funeral of my brother asked an employee of the funeral my mother why we had not taken leave. "He's corpse would have prepared so well." Just informed us, nobody.
The death of my brother now goes back 20 years. The lack of sensitivity of people in a business environment with the death of my Brother were confronted, has also caused us great suffering.
This experience has persuaded me to hire me for the protection of survivors. I started with the establishment of a support group for bereaved parents, which I accompanied a half years. From 1999 to 2006 I worked as a crisis intervention counselor in the rescue, a team that I myself have founded. This team was my "baby" and it gave me the opportunity to accompany a piece of their Affected serious way.
My financial situation as a single mom I had finally persuaded a job to adopt at a funeral home. There I also completed my work as a consultant, training in pathology and then almost all types of work to be executed. So I could acquire an extensive knowledge. Eventually I realized a funeral is a service provider. Nothing more. While the industry's advertising in recent years with mourning and grief counseling seminars, is all just to profit. Funeral and mourning seminars - does not match. The profit motive of the funeral home and the offer of grief seminars run due to lack of empathy and authenticity, the idea of grief counseling ad absurdum.
It came as it had. As so often in my life I had once again too much passion, naivety and too much overtime invested in my work. The confirmed letter of thanks, bunches of flowers and gratuities of members along with their names mentioned in the credits to me but my success, but led, as it should be different, to envy and resentment among colleagues. Mobbing and Bossing (it was a family) eventually led to the fact that I am refocused. What remains is the knowledge of my inner "treasure chest". My job situation leaves me little time to pass my knowledge in appropriate forums. I want to help still like. So I've decided to start this blog.
Let me start with the recurring question:
"Which funeral home can you recommend me."
Tip 1:
The question is wrongly put. A funeral home is a profit-oriented service provider.
also a car dealer is a profit-oriented. If you plan to buy a new car, then go only to a dealer? Of course not.
A car purchase is a beautiful thing. A funeral is a sad situation.
should still compare and not only from the best provider of Time pressure can be set. Even by the undertaker, you can ask for a quote. And then go to the next provider and do the same. And then compare.
burial or cremation? What is more expensive?
Tip 2:
This question can not be answered in general. A cremation may well be more expensive than a burial. Even in a cremation casket is required, in which the deceased is transported to the crematorium. Add to this the cost of transport and personnel.
Tip 3:
No. Must not can already. In Bavaria, for example, according to burial law is not allowed. As with all laws, there are loopholes here. A detour can be realized in the well.
"How much does a funeral?"
Tip 4:
Here I found the following verbatim response of a low-cost funeral services in the network:
"From 500 €. Depending on how much of your members is worth it. "
This statement is absolutely classic for the way in which the customer is suggested that the level has to do the bill of the undertaker in any form to do with the appreciation of the deceased. A few of Undertakers always like method chosen to make cash.
"How do I know if what is on the bill is in fact supplied. For example, in the case of the burial equipment?"
Tip 5:
By controlling it. Each undertaker must give you the opportunity to take the so-called Einsargung of the deceased and before the laying out, once more farewell. This gives you the ability to control.
