Making the Final
Arrangements after the death of a loved one
When a death occurs, there will be two parts of the Final
arrangements ~
1)Funeral Services arrangement:
The service components include: Professional fee,
Registration and Documentation, Embalming, Sanitary Care and Preparation, Removal
and transfer of deceased from place of death to the funeral home, Facility for
funeral ceremony/service, Facility for Identification/Visitation/Viewing, Facility for embalming/Preparing/Shelter,
Funeral Coach, Limousine, Lead/Clergy car and other service Vehicle.. etc. Family
members can choose the form of service according to the wishes of the loved one,
their religion and traditional customs.
Although there is no law states that a family has to use
funeral home, due to the many details,
legal procedures and requirements to be looked after and handled, it is making
so much sense to have a trained professionals to deal with the matters during
the most life’s difficult time as most people are not have the equipment and
permits to properly transport and handle the deceased.
2) Cemetery arrangement:
Cemetery arrangement includes the selection of resting
places, such as burial plots, cremation columbarium/ niche walls, Mausoleum
crypts… etc.; Interment/ Inurnment Service fees; and Memorialization and other
merchandise such as photos, vases and emblems... etc. There are different types of cemeteries
in the province which including municipal and privately owned. The costs for
the cemetery plots, merchandise and service can vary widely based on the
locations and service types.
Some families choose to forward their loved one’s body or
cremated remains to overseas or back to their original country after the Funeral,
or bring the cremated remains home; some families choose to scatter the remains
into the sea or dirt. In that case, there is no cemetery arrangement required.
After the cremation process is completed, the cremated
remain will be returned to the executor or personal representative who have
legal authority. There are no provincial regulations that prohibit the
scattering of cremated remains on land, sea or by air, as long as the cremated
remains are handled in a respectful manner and form. Some families place the
ashes in their homes, take them overseas or to their homes, put them in the
gardens of private property, bury them in the cemetery, or even scatter the
ashes. If permitted by city by-laws, ashes can be scattered in the sea, land,
air, or any place of personal significance.
The decision to scatter should be chosen very carefully
because the act of scattering in an irreversible decision. The action caused a
long-term emotional result for the family who feel regret that there is no
permanent memorial site to place the respect and remember their loved one.
