Pre-Arrangements
Losing a loved one is hard enough. Add in the many logistical and financial decisions that come with arranging a funeral or memorial service, and it can feel overwhelmingly stressful. By planning yours in advance, you can remove these extra burdens from your loved ones during an already difficult time, and allow your family the space to remember, connect, and begin to heal. You also make sure your final wishes are carried out how you want—not decided through someone else’s best guesses.

I’ve never arranged a funeral before. What do I need to do?
At one time in each of our lives we will have to handle arrangements for a loved one who passes away. There are many things to think of, here are a few tips:
Make your decision after meeting the funeral service professional.
Did the deceased express his/her wishes about the type of funeral service they desired?
If the funeral is going to involve a burial…what cemetery is the burial going to take place? If it is going to be a cremation…what is the surviving family going to do with the cremains (ashes)?
Discuss payment options with the funeral home and have a budget to work within before you make any decisions.
Plan a meaningful ceremony for your loved one and designate a priest, minister or preacher to officiate.
Designate a location for the viewing or memorial. It can be held in our funeral home, any church, nursing home or household.
Can I still have a funeral if there is a cremation?
Yes, there are many different ways to have a beautiful meaningful funeral service that involves a cremation. Call our office anytime 719-633-9999 to discuss the options or just click on the Cremation Options tab.
What do I do when a death occurs?
When a death occurs contact Earthly Return 24hrs a day, 7days a week (call (719) 633 9999 ). We will arrange with the hospital, nursing home or medical examiners office to have your loved one picked up and placed into our care. If the death occurs at home, please contact us when you are ready for us to come. If your family wants some extra time to spend with the deceased to say good bye, that is acceptable also.
