Green Cremation Texas - Austin Funeral Home

1. Discount Funeral Homes Offer Final Urns, Cremation Services and Restorative Artwork ____________________________________________________________________ What exactly is a funeral home? A funeral parlor, funeral home or mortuary, is an establishment that offers funeral and burial services for both the living and the dead. These services can include the provision of a funeral service and a wake, and also the distribution of funeral materials such as a funeral book. There are even some funeral homes that provide services like cremation caskets. Many people believe that an Austin Funeral Home only provides funeral service, but this is not true. There are also funeral homes that offer the option of a viewing or memorial service after the service has been performed. There are also those who choose to have the services provided by a minister or priest during the wake. The choice is really up to the individual family. One common question from people is whether they can have cremation services with a full-service offering. Simply put, yes you can! You will just need to call your local funeral home to find out if they do offer this type of service. If the answer is yes then you can schedule the service to occur a couple of days or even a week before the final memorial service. You can also have memorial cremations at a Funeral Home rather than at a cemetery. This is really up to you and the funeral home. You can find urns made from a wide variety of materials including wood, ceramic, crystal, marble and porcelain. Some people prefer the traditional urns, while others feel comfortable displaying these urns in a more public area like their front yard where everyone can see them. In some cases it may be possible for you to have services outside of the funeral home as requested by the family. It all depends on the type of memorial service that you have planned for your deceased. Some services are very simple, where the deceased is just remembered and there is no recessional or scripture. Others may be longer and more elaborate in which the deceased is honored along with the services. The type of memorial service that you have planned should include artwork that helps to depict how the deceased lived his or her life. Memorial parks are another way for your loved one's funeral homes to offer discounts for their clients. You can find a variety of styles and designs, including headstone markers, benches, tabletops and more. You can find such items for cremations as urns, coffins, urns, crosses, etc. You may want to contact your funeral homes to inquire about this special discount before it is offered.
