The Hottest New Trends at Charlotte, MI Funeral Homes
Many of our clients, especially younger clients celebrating the life of a parent or other relative, want a funeral or memorial service that keeps with the times. That’s why Charlotte, MI Funeral Homes work with a staff that’s always learning and updating our offerings to match demand. Personalized funerals often take on the tone of a modern celebration while also being a respectful celebration of a life well lived, so read on for some of the biggest new trends in funeral services.
Digitally Enhanced Services
One of the biggest challenges of planning a funeral is giving those closest to the deceased time to get there to attend. This might not be possible due to outside commitments or location, so many clients are choosing to livestream their services over the internet. This allows faraway family and friends to watch as their loved one is laid to rest. It also allows for digital tributes to be spoken live at the funeral from around the world, rather than sent in after the fact.
A Permanent Online Memorial
Like the livestreamed services, an online memorial book can be a powerful way to connect friends and family of the departed around the world. These webpages are hosted on the site of funeral homes and allow loved ones to share memories, post pictures, and offer their condolences to the family. This means the celebration of life goes on long after the funeral is over. Many people offer a link to a meaningful charity the deceased supported on this page.
Eco-Friendly Funerals
Many clients, both younger and older, are becoming increasingly concerned with the environment and are seeking to minimize their carbon footprint. Funeral homes are responding by offering more eco-friendly products, including caskets made from recycled wood and biodegradable urns. Many cemeteries are also creating community memorial gardens, hosting many species of beautiful plants amid the headstones instead of a simple field of grass.
In-House Mental Health Support
Gone are the days of funeral-planning being limited to visiting a mortician’s office, making decisions, and signing papers. Funeral homes in Charlotte, MI are taking a holistic approach to our clients’ health and happiness, which is
why we provide in-house mental health support and grief counseling. Planning a funeral and coping with loss is one of the most stressful life events, and we want to ensure you have the help you need to get through it and pay loving tribute to the departed.
Pre-Planned Funeral Services
Who knows better how your life should be celebrated than you? Many of our clients aren’t planning a funeral for a lost loved one, but planning their own for an unknown date. These clients aren’t always old or ill, they’re often more concerned with taking the future job off their loved ones’ shoulders. When you pre-plan a funeral with us, the plans you set out will be in effect indefinitely and we’ll set aside your chosen items to guarantee availability.
