One of the most important things you can do when planning your first funeral is to slow down. Although this may sound counterintuitive, slowing down will help you focus on each task you need to complete. If your loved one pre-planned a service, make sure the relevant papers are kept organized and safe so you can refer to them at the appropriate time.
