You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to create a beautiful and meaningful memorial service for a deceased loved one. Look for a memorial funeral home in Kelowna  that can help you come up with the memorial service that your family wants within a reasonable budget. The memorial funeral home in Kelowna should take into account the needs of the surviving family members and customize a memorial plan that will suit those needs.

  1. Opt for cremation.

Traditional memorial services can be expensive because you will have to buy the casket and many other memorial service products. With cremation, you can choose to make it as simple as you want. You can save money by choosing your preferred urn for your deceased loved one.

It is also a more flexible option because you can opt not to have a service and go directly to the burial process. The ashes can be scattered instead of buried. You don’t have to buy land to bury the remains.

Talk to your loved ones about getting cremation services. Make sure you choose a funeral home that also offers cremation services such as Everden Rust.

  1. Choose inexpensive memorial service products.

You don’t need to get everything in the package offered by the memorial home. You can customize it to suit your budget. There is also no harm in asking for alternative options. If there are products that are too pricey, you can choose a cheaper option. For instance, if you find a certain flower arrangement too expensive, you can ask to choose a cheaper kind of flower and a simpler arrangement.

  1. Take the DIY route.

Some people might want to try creating some of the products needed for the memorial service.  You can make the memorial program, do the flower arrangements, and many other things that you can choose to do on your own. There might be other friends or relatives who are willing to help you make these arrangements.

  1. Consider cheaper venues.

You can opt for a venue that isn’t in the funeral home. It can be your family farm, your home’s backyard, or the place where you will scatter the ashes. Just make sure the venue also includes chairs and tables so that you don’t have to rent them separately.

  1. Consider a potluck reception.

You can get catering services after the funeral but if you want to save more money, a potluck reception is another option. Friends and family can pitch in and contribute their own home-cooked dishes.

Stress out the importance of staying within budget if you are dealing with a funeral arrangement. Make sure the memorial funeral home in Kelowna will understand what your family needs.
