- Click ‘Get Form’ button to access the checklist and open it in the online editor.
- Begin with the pre-planning section. Gather necessary personal information for the obituary, and consider choosing a charity for donations. Decide if jewelry will remain with the deceased or be returned, and choose a funeral home.
- Move to the funeral home services section. Indicate your preference for burial or cremation, and select a casket or cremation container. Choose a burial vault or urn, determine the type and location of the service, and specify details for family viewing or visitation.
- In the funeral home services section, choose a floral arrangement, select a photograph for display, and decide which religious or fraternal items will be included. Specify what the deceased will wear, as well as music, hymns, and solos to be played.
- Continue by selecting scripture or literature to be read, a memorial register, memorial folders, and acknowledgment cards.
- Next, move on to transportation. Indicate if a funeral coach, clergy car, family limousine, pallbearer limousine, or flower car is needed.
- For participants, choose clergy or officiant, as well as an organist or other musical participants. Select pallbearers, and designate family members or friends for performing the eulogy or reading scripture.
- Proceed to cemetery selections. Choose a cemetery and select a burial or cremation plot. Decide whether the plot will be above or below ground and choose a memorial marker with inscription.
- Finally, in the final arrangements section, specify items that cannot be arranged ahead of time, such as ambulance transfer, applying for death certificates, burial permits, and setting the service time and date.
- Review all the sections filled out. Once verified, make sure to save changes, and consider downloading, printing, or sharing the completed checklist.
