Funeral Arrangements
Report
If you are planning a funeral, you are either doing it for a loved one or pre-planning your own service. Either way, the chances are high that this is your first time doing so. If the funeral is for someone close to you, this is a trying time. Many people feel the need to rush through the process because of the limited amount of time between their loved one's death and the funeral date.
Repatriation
Report
If a loved one passes away overseas, it is up to their family to decide where they want to have the service and the burial. In many cases, the service and the burial are held in different states or countries, allowing the deceased to be buried in their homeland. If this is the case for your funeral arrangements, you may require repatriation services.
