Hello, my name is Sharon Kenworthy. I'm a funeral director.
What happens at the arrangement meeting?
An arrangement meeting is when a family sits down with a funeral director to plan a service. It often happens at the funeral home.
The funeral director asks for details needed for official records, like full name, birth date and parents' names. The family talks through choices such as burial or cremation, a viewing, and the date and place of the service. The funeral director also shares a written price list for each item and service.
Call the office if you have questions about your visit or your service. This is general information, not personal instructions. Your funeral director can explain what applies to your family.
Thanks for watching.
