As I drive down the main street of my hometown in Connecticut, the sidewalks still wet from a recent thunderstorm, I notice the flag in front of the firehouse is at half mast in honor of my father, who had been, at 102, the volunteer fire company's oldest member.
Another complication arises from the burial arrangements as the cemetery allows urns to be interred on top of coffins, causing a dilemma of an entire extra plot after purchasing a double cemetery plot for the father who had already been cremated.
The process of planning a funeral involves unexpected decisions and challenges, with factors like venue changes due to a church's closure demanding flexibility and consideration to adjust arrangements around conflicting schedules and locations.
