Today, people are living longer than ever, and many still don’t know whether they want to be buried or cremated. Senior citizens sixty five years of age and older comprise approximately forty one million, which is thirteen percent of all the people in the United States. This means there are millions of undecided people who need to start making some plans for the kind of funeral they want. It’s much easier on a family if the plans are already made and paid for before the inevitable occurs.
Since everyone is going to die someday, and there’s no getting out of it, pre-planning gives one peace of mind. It’s those times when a disaster happens, either from a car accident, or another type of accident, an illness, or a beloved military person is sadly sent home to loved ones, when help is desperately needed. It’s a time when the compassion of the local funeral director is so gratefully appreciated by family. When they’re taken totally off guard with no time for planning, people can’t say enough about the caring assistance they received from the funeral director and associates of Evans Funeral Chapel and Cremation Services.
Whether a person chooses a cremation and urn, or a traditional funeral with interment in the ground, staff at the funeral home are ready to plan a lovely Funeral Program in Bel Air. They can put friends and relatives in touch with a local florist, offer help with grief counseling, and help with planning a funeral. Many people make a joke of how they want buried, but they don’t realize that the people left behind will be grieving. The person who passed away gained the strength and courage to die when their time came, but the ones left to handle the funeral and finality of life are experiencing many different feelings. They include frustration, absolute grief, anger, loneliness, anxiety and fear.
All of these emotions can subside immensely just by visiting one more time at the funeral home and saying a final goodbye. Hearts that are broken can begin to heal just by replaying the memories of hugs from caring family and friends paying their last respects. Expressions of sorrow and the remembrance of a life well lived, happen at a Funeral Program in Bel Air.
