Step by Step: Cremation and Funeral Planning in Renovo, PA

Here is a general pathway you should follow when it’s time to prepare funeral services:

1. Select a Funeral Home: Choosing local funeral services ensures that you have the support of a knowledgeable team. Our business has been serving the local community for years. You’re welcome to reach out to talk to our funeral director about available services. We can simplify the planning by walking you through the specific decisions that need to be addressed through this process.

We always take the time to explain the specific services and talk to you about the possibilities. By learning about the services, you can choose a plan that honors the memory of your loved one.
3. Coordinate with Family: While the funeral is focused on the deceased, this event is more about the opportunity for friends and family to come together. How many people would you like to have at the event? Decide whether you prefer a small gathering with the closest family members or if it makes sense to book a large event. Make sure that you communicate details of the services with everyone who would like to participate.
4. Treasure the Memories: Just because the funeral services are over doesn’t mean that your work is done. Many people like to choose keepsake items or special mementos that remind them of their memories. We can help with the selection of the perfect keepsakes if desired.

Event Planning and Final Resting Place

As you are talking to our staff about funeral and cremation plans in Renovo, PA, you’ll find that most decisions fall into two categories. We can help with both event planning and finalizing the person’s resting place. 

Event planning is centered around the time you will meet with friends and family. Options include traditional funeral services, as well as memorials, graveside services, and life celebrations. You can choose the venue, atmosphere, program, and more. We’ll help you 

determine the type of event you’d like. Then our team works tirelessly behind the scenes to finalize the event planning details. 

The other category is focused on caring for the remains of the deceased. Is there a specific method or location you would like to choose for laying them to rest? Options include cremation, which allows you flexibility since cremated ashes can be placed anywhere you desire. The other option is a burial, which requires that the remains are placed in a dedicated location, such as a cemetery.
