Learn More About Funeral Pre-Planning

Funerals are the way many are able to begin or participate in the process of grief. It’s meant to serve many purposes, from final goodbyes and long overdue hellos from distant friends, to a way we can celebrate a beautiful life and all the departed has shared and meant to those in attendance. 

Planning a funeral, however, can often add stress and tension to the families of those that we’ve lost, leading to disagreements, postponed grief and downright hard work at the hands of those that may be in the most pain. This is why we recommend, if possible, pre-planning the arrangements for the days that lie ahead if you anticipate them on the horizon. 

Philip J. Brendese Funeral Home works with families to help them best arrange the events that surround the death of a loved one or of oneself. We’ll collaborate with both the families of the departed and with those anticipating their departure so that the loved ones left behind can use the days after a passing to truly grieve, share stories and remember a beautiful life without the stress of planning an upcoming funeral, burial or cremation service

Funeral pre-planning also gives families time to truly determine what their loved one might prefer at their own service, often with that loved one playing a hand in those plans, guaranteeing a day that genuinely depicts the life and wishes of the person being honored.

If you live in Albany, NY; Clifton Park, NY; Troy, NY; or a surrounding community, get in touch with our funeral home staff to learn more about the funeral pre-planning process or to schedule a time to discuss your needs and wishes together. We’ll work with you on a budget and promise to honor every detail that you feel is an important addition to the day at hand.
