→Step 4: Arrange the funeral
* Where and when will the funeral be?
* Will the deceased be buried or cremated?
* Will there be an obituary and notice or funeral announcement published in the paper?
Often people leave instructions about what they want, either in their will or a letter. When possible, arrangements should be in accordance with the will-maker’s wishes. You’ll also want to consider the wishes of the relatives.
| text = To pay the funeral expenses, you could take the invoices to the bank where the deceased kept an account. If there’s enough money in the account, the bank will typically give you funds from that account to pay the expenses.
