Choosing a memorial for a loved one's grave can be a daunting task. This is because the market is full of different types of memorials, and each has its advantages. Although traditional monuments such as upright and slanted headstones are common in cemeteries, mausoleums have gained popularity over the last few years. Unfortunately, their size puts most people off, but that does not have to be the case. If you get past size constraints, there is a lot that a mausoleum has to offer.

There are different ways to say your final goodbyes to a loved one, and cremation is a popular one. In fact, cremation has been gaining popularity in Australia over the past few years. According to statistics, about 70% of all metropolitan-area funerals in 2017 used cremation. This can be attributed to its cost-effectiveness. However, there are a few questions you should ask crematorium funeral directors before opting for cremation services.

After a loved one has passed, one of the most important decisions you'll need to make while organizing the funeral is what type of coffin to use. Though coffins aren't always necessary, most people still use them, and there is a wide selection of types available to fit around an equally wide range of preferences. Coffins are traditionally made from metal, wood, or fibreboard, but you'll increasingly see coffins made from wicker.
