About Me

Exploring The Funeral Arrangement Process

Hello, I'm Martyna Hedges. When a close friend passed away at a young age, we were all devastated. Since he did not have a lot of family in the area, our group of friends were tasked with helping make the funeral arrangements. We collectively pooled our knowledge about the things our friend liked to create a funeral that reflected his unique personality. We had to pick the songs, photos and flowers used for the services. We also had to choose his final resting place and burial items. I would like to use this site to prepare people for the funeral arrangement process. I want to provide information about caskets, urns, clothing and flowers used to honor the deceased party. I will also talk about creating slideshows, eulogies and playlists. Please visit my site often to learn more.
