The Value of a Funeral

A funeral service fills many important requirements in today's world. First, it provides dignified and respectful care of the deceased. Finegan's provides a special tribute to a unique life.

Second, the funeral service helps survivors face the reality of death, which is the first step to coping with grief. Together, friends and relatives lend support and consolation when most needed. A funeral also gives loved ones an opportunity to express the love they feel for someone important to them. Many times, simply being surrounded by care can be a wonderful help to a family adjusting to loss.

Finegan's will ensure dignity and respect, and will make every effort to accommodate any special requests which might add more meaning and personalization to a funeral service.

Pre-need Arrangements

A significant number of families choose to consult with our staff regarding pre-planning their funeral requests. The idea behind planning ahead is simple.

One day, a great deal of essential information about you or your loved ones will be needed by your family and anyone whose responsibility it is to assist them. Those who plan ahead may rest assured that not only will their personal wishes be heeded, but other unnecessary complications will be avoided. By discussing plans in advance, you can take your time to make the best decisions about the type of ceremony and burial procedures you prefer. A pre-planned service can also be comforting to your family, as it spares them the emotionally and often financially difficult decisions at a time of passing.

A pre-need conversation may be simply to entrust information to our staff or may lead to fully funding a prepaid funeral account. The monies that would be set aside for the funeral are held in a trust account with the New Jersey Prepaid Funeral Trust Fund. The benefits of pre-planning are tremendous. By using the pre-payment option, for instance, you can have your services completely paid for in today's dollars, as a hedge against inflation. But the biggest benefit of all is the peace of mind pre-planning means for you and your family. It means one less burden in a stressful time. Our staff is available to share information with you regarding pre-arranging a funeral.

Cremation

Some choose to be cremated after death. Our staff is available to share information with you regarding this option.

Choosing a Casket

The selection of a casket is a very important element in planning a funeral. As a consumer, you are entitled to the information you need to make a fully-informed choice, and we will help.

Caskets are available in a variety of styles, with numerous design features which cover a wide price range. There are primarily two types of casket: metal and wood. Metal caskets offer beauty, strength, and protection. Hardwood caskets offer a choice for those who appreciate the qualities of natural wood. The professionals at Finegan's will make certain you are comfortable with your selection; please do not hesitate to ask for more information.

Choosing a Cemetary Lot

It is especially important to discuss the selection of a cemetary lot well in advance of need, as there are many aspects which impact this decision. Some questions you should ask are: Does the lot meet the needs of your religious preference? What restrictions are placed on monuments and burial vaults? Does the agreement include perpetual care and maintenance? Are lots available in the same location to provide for burial of your family? We will be happy to assist you in selecting a burial lot; please feel free to ask us.
