Three Types of Funerals

The death of a loved one is never easy, and planning a funeral may not be something you’ll want to deal with. Knowing ahead of time the type of funeral you’ll want to have can ease that burden for your own loved ones. For more specific information, you can contact Marik-Baken Funeral Services Ltd., a funeral home in Westchester, IL. We’re committed to compassionate, customized funeral services to meet all your family’s needs. Here’s a closer look at three different types of funerals for you to consider.

Traditional

The first is the traditional funeral service. This service usually includes embalming for the body and a viewing for the family. During the service, the body and casket will be present. There will also be stationery, vehicles, funeral staff and equipment supplied by the funeral home in Westchester, IL. Our compassionate staff will be available to help you with every detail and arrangement. We’ll walk you through each step of the process, whether it’s a religious or secular traditional funeral service. Traditional services can be arranged around your family’s schedule, helping to ease the burden.

Memorial

A memorial service can be held in addition to or in place of a traditional service. A memorial service usually does not have a body and casket present. Instead, an urn may be present at the service. The funeral service itself is conducted similarly to the traditional service. That includes stationery, vehicles, funeral staff and equipment. The staff at our funeral home in Westchester, IL will meet with you to walk through the steps to create a memorial service that will honor your loved one. Our memorial services allow you to choose the schedule that fits everyone’s needs, pick out a location that will be best for you and your family and use trusted services that will meet all your specifications.

Immediate disposition

The final type of funeral is immediate disposition. In this case, the deceased is either buried or cremated as soon as possible following death, and there is no funeral service. If the body has been immediately cremated or buried, we can help you with any options still available to you. You may still have a service without a body or urn, much like a memorial service, to honor your loved one. Our funeral home in Westchester, IL would be pleased to walk you through the steps you can take.
