How to Handle Family Feuds When it Comes to Planning a Funeral

Are you coping with a loss over a loved one and need to make funeral arrangements but don’t know where to start? Sunset Funeral Home, Cremation Center & Cemetery can help. We’re here to help put families at ease through the process of setting up their loved one’s final arrangements.

We understand the difficulties and pressures that are involved in decision making. Especially when it’s a decision as big as which final services to choose. Adding the loss of a loved one into the mix can make the decision and process even harder. We don’t ever want families to feel pressured or forced into making a certain decision. We have your best interest and the interest of your loved one at heart. However, there are things out of our control. Just as there are things out of your control.

Sometimes when a loved one has passed away, family members can be jolted and left shocked by the sudden loss. When grieving, families can do “out of the norm” things and can make decisions without logically thinking them through. Families can also feel entitled to carrying out their own wishes for their loved one though it may not have been what the deceased wanted. This happens all too often and causes rifts and a divide among family members. This can also leave final arrangements in the hands of someone who knew nothing about what the deceased had wanted.

This is tough and very disheartening for all parties involved. However, at Sunset Funeral Home, Cremation Center & Cemetery, we go out of our way, regardless of the situation, to make the best cremation arrangements and services that reflect how special your loved one was. It can be difficult to handle family feuds during such a difficult time but it’s also important to remember that we can help. After speaking over the phone and sitting down with the respective parties we can get an idea of what’s important for the funeral service or cremation and what avenue to take. We can also help navigate families to the correct place to handle and deal with their grief. Sometimes grief causes families to lash out at each other and bring up old wounds that pour into the intricacies of planning final arrangements. We want to help any way we can by giving your loved one the best final services they could have asked for.
