While we’ve previously covered three common mistakes to avoid when arranging funerals, the list doesn’t end there. Here are three more areas to pay attention to when it comes to planning an Adelaide funeral:

Not setting a budget

Ensure you have a clear budget in mind for funeral expenses.

Overspending can put unnecessary financial stress on you or your family during what is already a highly emotional and stressful time. Sticking to a budget can avoid that stress.

Alternatively, if you’re planning your own funeral in advance, you can also arrange payment—and this can similarly reduce the economic burden on your family in the future.

Ignoring cultural or religious traditions

Whether you share the traditions or religious preferences of the deceased or not, it’s important not to ignore these preferences when funeral planning as they are often deeply personal and also reflect the community the deceased built around themselves during their lifetime.

Failing to ask questions

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, no matter of important or trivial, of your funeral director or planner. At Mattiske Funerals, we pride ourselves on our ability to guide and support families through this difficult time, and this means clarifying any queries you have about the funeral process.
