When you decide to have cremation services in Phoenix, AZ for a loved one, you can feel good about the fact that your loved one’s needs are met. They are getting what they need. But that doesn’t mean that you have to stop there. In fact, you might want to have some kind of memorial service for your loved one to honor their memory, say goodbye, and get the closure you need, too. That service might mean something that feels formal and traditional or it might be more of a celebration and party. Either way, whether you have food as part of the service or part of a reception after, you might want a caterer to help you out. The cremation providers will process the cremation, but they can also help with advice in that area. Here are a few things you can do to get started.
Tap Into Their List Of Contact
Cremation providers have a lot of good contacts in the area with a variety of vendors, including caterers. They are going to have recommendations and ideas and you can tap into their contact list and see who comes recommended and who might work well for your needs.
Find Out Who Offers The Services You Want
If you have certain foods in mind or certain services that you want from a caterer, you can tell the provider about that and they can help to match you with the right caterer for the job. Of course, you get to make the ultimate decisions, but it can really help to have someone experienced give you advice as to what might work well to suit your needs.
Have Your Budget On Hand
Your cremation provider can also help you choose a caterer based on the budget you have in mind for the food. You want to find something that lines up well with what you can afford and they may know where to direct you in that way.
Get Location Tips For Receptions
You may be able to have a reception, or even a memorial service with food, right there at the funeral home, but the cremation providers are going to have other venue ideas and recommendations in mind that might be more in line with what you want to do.
