Welcome to our first blog post!
Calla Funeral Home warmly welcomes you to our first blog post. In the coming weeks, we would like to introduce ourselves as an innovative company and explore many relevant topics. Since funerals concern society as a whole, we aim to offer you a fresh, innovative perspective on them.
Life: A Puzzle of Highs and Lows
Life is filled with highs and lows—joy and sorrow accompany us throughout. We try to plan our lives as if we are assembling a puzzle that eventually forms a clear picture. However, the death of a loved one often causes us to pause. This event can leave us feeling powerless and disoriented. On one hand, we are grieving, and on the other, we are forced to face a topic that many tend to avoid: funerals. Yet, addressing this subject can bring peace of mind.
Funeral Pre-planning: Preparing for the Inevitable
Perhaps some of you have already taken steps toward funeral pre-planning. This allows you to plan your own funeral according to your wishes during your lifetime. Whether you choose a burial or cremation, or even a burial at sea or in a forest, there are many options available. Everyone has their own idea of what their perfect funeral should be like. Moreover, pre-planning ensures that your loved ones won’t be left with difficult decisions. Our first blog post gives you but a short overview of our funeral services.
Grave Types: Making the Right Choice
Another important consideration is the type of grave. Should it be a family plot, a single grave, or perhaps an anonymous one? Calla Funeral Home offers many different options. Additionally, you can decide whether or not to hold a memorial service and choose the music—whether traditional hymns like “Hallelujah” or modern pop or rock music. There is also a wide range of coffins and urns to choose from. Here, too, we aim to provide an innovative perspective on funeral options, so you can select what best suits your wishes and values.
Funeral Costs: Planning Ahead
Unfortunately, funerals are often associated with high costs. Many people don’t plan ahead during their lifetime, which means that the financial burden often falls on the family. By planning early, however, you can ensure your loved ones are not faced with unexpected expenses. Furthermore, discussing costs ahead of time allows you to make informed choices that fit your budget.
Grief Counseling: Support for the Bereaved
Another topic that is close to our hearts is grief counseling for family members. While funerals can be emotionally taxing, trauma-informed care and a psychoanalytic approach can provide essential support. At Calla Funeral Home, we believe that helping families through their grief is as important as organizing the funeral itself.
