Parkland Funeral & Cremation Planning Resources

Planning final arrangements for a loved one or for oneself can feel overwhelming. Parkland residents can find resources to guide them through funeral, cremation, and cemetery planning.

The Dignity Memorial® network offers services to support families with traditional burial, cremation, religious ceremonies, and celebrations of life. Providers assist with immediate needs following a death and pre-planning for future arrangements.

Experts can explain the cremation process, assist with service planning, and guide cemetery property selection. Traditional funeral services, which vary by preference, are also available. The network also highlights a "celebration of life," a personalized remembrance event with favorite foods, music, and decor.

Educational resources include an on-demand seminar, "Your Life, Your Legacy," which outlines pre-planning steps. Residents can also download "The Insider’s Guide to Funeral & Cremation Planning" for inspirational ideas and practical steps.

The network provides information on funeral costs, steps to take when someone dies, and guidance for planning veteran funerals, including discounted packages for veterans. Resources cover cemetery property selection, funeral poems, eulogy writing, and the differences between cremation and burial.

For immediate assistance or to discuss options, call a Dignity Memorial provider at 1-800-343-4464 at any time. The organization aims to help residents plan a remembrance that reflects the individual's life.
