3 Mistakes To Avoid When Arranging Funerals In Adelaide

As a team that has arranged hundreds of funerals in Adelaide, we’ve seen it all and know the dos and don’ts when it comes to planning and running a thoughtful service. Here are three key funeral mistakes to watch out for:

Rushing

When planning an Adelaide funeral service, it’s important not to rush important decisions. While funerals can and often are arranged quickly, care should still be taken to ensure they are not rushed.

After all, a speedy turnaround shouldn’t mean that decision making isn’t given the care and attention it deserves when it comes to planning such an important event.

We understand that it’s likely to be an emotionally charged and difficult time for you, your family, and your friends. It’s why we work closely with all of you to ensure that no details are overlooked—we’ll be your guide, showing you the way with confidence so that all appropriate arrangements are considered and followed through on.

Ignoring personal wishes

Funerals are deeply personal as they are a reflection and celebration of an individual’s life.

It’s important then not to disregard wishes or desires of the deceased that have been previously expressed—whether communicated in person or through a document like a Will.

We work with you to tease out these personal preferences in order to create a meaningful tribute to the life of your loved one.

Poor communication

Getting the message out to family and friends about the funeral service is critical, but we appreciate this can be a challenge while you are grieving.

We can help by arranging death and funeral notices, and ensuring key messages are communicated in a timely manner and with clarity.
