There are a lot of details that go into pre-planning funeral arrangements and cremation. At the Park, we are here to help you be as prepared as possible.
One very important step while pre-planning cremation is to complete the cremation authorization in advance. This step will save a lot of potential trouble for your loved ones.
Basically, this is an important legal document that, in most states, needs to be signed by your legal next of kin. The cremation authorization gives permission for the cremation to actually happen. In some states, all next of kin must sign the form, so taking care of this step during the preneed process can really help.
Getting this paperwork completed in advance of death checks a lot of the boxes we talk about often on the Park blog. It allows your funeral professional to start the process without waiting. It reduces future stress for your loved ones. It’s also a big part of making sure all of your personal wishes are met.
Bottom line is that your team at the Park is ready and available to help you plan. Even if you’re only in the talking and brainstorming stage, the team can help. Contact us anytime, 419-882-6883.
