Although we want to avoid it for all intents and purposes, at some point we can not avoid getting into a situation where we have to arrange a funeral for someone close to us. Saying goodbye to a good friend or close family member is hard and relentless, which is why it is important to send them off well with a personal funeral. It is the fewest people who have tried to arrange a funeral, so we understand well if you are in doubt about how it goes. Of course, there are various ways in which you can arrange a funeral, but there are still some things to keep in mind when planning a funeral. If you are a resident of Copenhagen, then it may well pay off for you to read below, because in the article we will guide you on how to best arrange a funeral in Copenhagen.

Find an undertaker in your area
When you are going to start arranging a funeral, there are a number of practical things that need to be arranged. It can be difficult to see for yourself if you are at the same time very sad about having lost a good friend or close family member. If you need help with a funeral in Copenhagen, then it may be a good idea for you to find a funeral director in your local area who can help you plan a good and personal funeral. There are a number of different undertaker shops in and near Copenhagen, so it’s just a matter of finding the one you feel most comfortable with. For example you have Lavendla.dk, which has been in Sweden since 2014 and came to Denmark in 2021. With a funeral director, you can get help to arrange all the practical and formal things related to a funeral, so you do not have to stand with these while you are in great grief.

Consider what kind of funeral to hold
In connection with the planning of a funeral in Copenhagen, you and your loved ones must also consider what kind of funeral should be held. In many cases, the deceased may have expressed what kind of funeral he or she wants before his or her death, but if this is not the case, it is something that the relatives must decide on. This applies, among other things, to considerations as to whether the deceased should be cremated or buried, and whether a church funeral or a funeral is desired.

Consider burial site
In connection with the planning of a funeral in Copenhagen, you must also decide on the deceased’s grave. There are several different options when it comes to choosing a burial site. So it may be a good idea to spend some time researching and inquiring into the various options so that you and your loved ones can choose the type of burial site that you think best suits the deceased. If the deceased is not to be buried, but instead cremated, it is also an option to spread his or her ashes to a specific location instead of having a burial site. In any case, it is at least a good idea to explore the various options before you and your loved ones decide.
