Organizing a Funeral

I feel numb. Mind was racign been on the phones all day. I stand better organized from my office then being in the hospital.

I was called in to help with the arrangement,I have done 7 funerals and 4 weddings - 3 of them 1st hand to know whats are the ares to be covered. 6 of us coordinating the funeral. The critical aspect of funerals in the following particular order

- Inform all and let the networks expand.
- Determine any overseas relatives they want to to be present, in this case yes. Confirm flight arrivals and extimates
- Book the priest and set the Funeral time
- Meanwhile get the Death Cert, get the burial/cremation permit and book the location.
Now you have the funeral time, location, priest, announcement and burial place all done


Next stage will be setting up the house.
- Get the tent, tanles cloth and all necessary
- Cover all the deity pics and rearrange the hall
- Get the bathign area ready.
- Get the list to purchase the thing and send someone to get them
- Get song books, trays banana leafs flowers etc etc etc

After that go with the flow.

Pretty much thats it

So tomorrow will be the funeral
