Services Available: Cremation and Funeral Planning in Essex, MD

What services do you need for your funeral plan? The good news is that our full-service approach means you can access everything necessary in one simple location. Here is a quick overview of the services we can help with:

• Funeral Services: We take care of everything from start to finish. The funeral planning process begins with a consultation so we can learn about your needs. Then, we can assist with all the details, such as finding a venue, planning the program, transportation, and more. We have funeral home facilities you can use for small gatherings, large events, viewings, and more.
• Burial Services: If cemetery burial is part of the funeral plan, then rest assured that we can take care of all the coordination with the local cemetery. Talk to us about the products and services needed, such as a casket, vault, gravestone, and more. We will assist with all the details.
• Cremation Services: Some families choose cremation instead of burial services. This simple method means you will receive a container of ashes after your loved one is cremated. Consider booking cremation with an event planning service as well, such as a memorial or life celebration.

These are just a few of the things that we offer for funeral planning. When you schedule a consultation with our Connelly Funeral Home of Essex team, we are happy to go into more detail about the many ways we can help with your personalized plan.

Timing: Immediate Funeral Services

While it’s ideal to have a preplan in place, there are times when families must go through the funeral planning process without much notice. We have a transparent, simple system and knowledgeable staff members to guide you through this process and ensure that you have a comfortable, low-stress experience.

Immediate funeral planning often means that you need to finalize the services in just a few days. If you know that the funeral will be necessary, we encourage you to call our team as soon as possible for assistance. We offer the ongoing support you require, including everything from transportation to personalized service advice.

Short-notice funeral planning isn’t ideal, but you can have confidence knowing that our team has been through this process many times before. We ensure that all the details are covered so your family receives quality experience before, during, and after the funeral services.

Preplanning: Benefits for the Family

When preparing for funeral and cremation in Essex, MD, another possibility is to reach out to our team at Connelly Funeral Home of Essex for preplanning support. Through this process, you get to learn about the different types of services that are available. We can start preplanning at any time, even if you don’t know the anticipated timeline for an upcoming event.

The benefits of preplanning are easy to see. Not only do you have an opportunity to make your wishes known, but you can also reduce the stress left on your family after you are gone. Having a plan in place means that your loved ones don’t have to face the most difficult decisions in their time of grief. You’ve already put in the work to coordinate services in advance.

Preplanning can happen when a loved one is sick, and you want to prepare for the event in the next few weeks or months. Or, you can start preplanning when you are in excellent health. Of course, there isn’t a right or wrong timeline to begin planning a funeral. But most funeral experts will agree: the sooner, the better!
