Not Sure Where to Start?
Every family’s journey is different, but many of the questions are the same. Get answers to some of the most common topics related to funeral planning, memorialization, burial, and cremation.
What Decisions Need to be Made First When Planning a Funeral?
One of the first funeral options you’ll consider is choosing between burial or cremation. From there, funeral planning may include decisions about the service or memorial, cemetery or final resting place, and products such as a casket, burial vault, urn, monument, or memorialization options.
Wilbert’s guided planning experience helps you understand these choices and document preferences before meeting with a funeral professional.
Burial vs. Cremation – What's the difference?
Burial and cremation are two different approaches to final arrangements, and either can be part of a meaningful memorial experience.
Burial typically involves a casket, cemetery placement, and often a burial vault.
Cremation provides additional flexibility regarding memorialization and final placement, including urns, urn vaults, keepsakes, and other remembrance options.
Both allow for meaningful, personalized tributes.
Can I Plan a Funeral Ahead of Time?
Yes.
Planning ahead allows burial or cremation preferences, memorialization wishes, personalization choices, and important decisions to be documented before they become urgent.
Many people find that planning ahead provides greater peace of mind and reduces the number of decisions loved ones need to make later.
How Much Does a Funeral Typically Cost?
Funeral costs vary based on location, service choices, burial or cremation preferences, products selected, and personalization decisions.
Your local funeral professional can help you explore available options and review estimated pricing based on your selections and location.
Can I Personalize Burial Vaults, Caskets, Urns, and Monuments?
Yes.
Many memorial products offer opportunities for personalization through photographs, inscriptions, imagery, emblems, artwork, colors, and meaningful design elements.
What Is a Burial Vault?
A burial vault is a lined and sealed outer receptacle that houses the casket.
It helps protect the casket from the elements, supports the weight of the earth above it so the ground above doesn’t sink, and helps preserve the appearance of the cemetery or memorial park.
Where Can I Purchase Wilbert Products?
Wilbert products are available through a nationwide network of funeral homes and licensed partners.
