The process of pre-planning your funeral arrangements can be delicate. Fortunately, the staff at Beecher & Bennett has provided professional funeral and cremation services to Hamden, CT-area residents since 1894. As you begin to plan, you can turn to the compassionate staff for support and guidance along the way.

It may be confusing at first since there are so many different factors to consider when planning your own funeral arrangements. Focus on these key points, which may help make the entire process go more smoothly:

• Decide On The Service: The first step is to decide on the type of service you prefer. Would you like a full funeral and burial service? Would you prefer a cremation service? Another option is a graveside service. At Beecher & Bennett, you can create a personalized funeral service that best meets your needs and honors your life.
• Consider Other Details: Having a wake, reception, or viewing is entirely up to you. Perhaps you would prefer your funeral follow your religion’s practices. A funeral director can help you arrange these specific plans.
• Make It Personal: There are many personal details that lend funeral services a personal element. Decide on your officiators and pallbearers and determine who will read any preferred poems or prayers. You can also choose to play music if you wish.
• Who Will Be There: Deciding who will attend your funeral services is a major part of the planning process. You may wish to make a list of people who should be invited, along with any specific organizations of which you might be a member (such as school groups or clubs).
