Many families are faced with having conversations about last wishes and arrangements for loved ones after they have passed. Families often find it challenging to have such discussions with their loved ones because it can be awkward, emotionally heart-wrenching and stressful. However, these are important conversations to have so that when the time comes, the devastating emotional impact of the loss of your loved one is not compounded by the stress of having to make decisions amid your grief.
The conversation does not have to be a “one-time” conversation, rather, it can be an on-going dialogue that touches on spiritual and religious beliefs, core values and finances. Aside from the fact that the cost of cremation is substantially less, another consideration that can help guide decision-making is the idea of “going green.” Those who have lived their lives with the intent to leave a minimal carbon footprint have increasingly opted for a cremation or a biodegradable tree urn. Now is the time to start having these crucial conversations with your loved ones so that you and your family can take the time to mourn together when the time comes and together, celebrate a life well-lived.
