When planning for a funeral, it’s best to set a budget. By budgeting for specific “must-have” items, it's easier prioritize what’s really important. As a way to avoid emotional overspending while planning for one’s funeral, look to family and friends!
They may have talents that can be utilized to personalize the service. A poet who can write a special verse to read, or a musician who can sing or play an instrument to add value to the service. And if possible, ask in advance!

Most caskets are lined with polyester, velvet, or satins. We believe this is important, as this ensures a peaceful and comfortable looking final goodbye which helps the deceased's loved ones recover from the sense of loss and begin the healing process. If you want to know what lining options we recommend, reach out anytime at https://www.burton-ewcalahanfuneralhome.com.

Often overlooked in Estate Planning is securing your digital legacy. It’s key to organize digital files and keep a list of online accounts and passwords. Your digital assets, which include personal websites, email accounts, social media profiles, etc., don’t just disappear after death. If you don’t want the “online” you to live on forever, you should create a plan to secure your digital legacy.

Through the 1970s, ambulances often served double duty as hearses until legislation restricted it. A few cities experimented with trolley or subway car hearses for the transportation of bodies, but the practice never caught on. Today in the US most hearses are luxury cars like Cadillac, Lincoln, or Mercedes that are hand-crafted by companies that take the bodies of existing cars and customize them to be longer with special mechanisms.

Anytime that you are honoring the life of a member of the military, it's important to look your best. Casual clothing like jeans, t-shirts or sweaters should be left at home as they will be considered disrespectful.

Materials used to make biodegradable urns can vary, but they do need to be made from something that can break down easily and relatively quickly upon burial. For example, they can be made of paper, cardboard, wood fibers, sand, or dissolvable materials like salt (which are increasingly popular.)
