2 Most Common Mistakes When Planning a Funeral in Perth

With so much raw emotion and anxiety that comes at the time of a loved one’s passing, it is common to find yourself having difficulty coping with everything going on and with all that needs arranging.

It is easy to overlook and miss several key components of planning a funeral.

Here are 2 of the common mistakes while planning a funeral in Perth;

Not having a clear direction

While this is as much to do with the time before a loved one has passed away, the end result is a state of heightened anxiety, uncertainty and a rush of activity. Many partners and families often fail to have a conversation with their significant others concerning their final wishes in the event they pass away.

Understanding the final wishes of a loved one provides a clear direction to plan the funeral, all the while minimising the burden that you would otherwise place on yourself.

Planning a funeral because of expectations

Many people do not understand the benefit of a funeral service. Instead, they are proceeding with the funeral on the basis that society deems it the thing to do or that others around them expect it. Many experts acknowledge that the greatest power in a funeral comes from the memories it creates and their role in fulfilling the healing process.

When some family members fail to pick up on this, they start to think of the funeral as merely a service and the end result that comes from that. This can lead to undesirable outcomes by focusing on matters of less importance.
