The New Outlook on Funeral Arrangements in Pinellas County, FL
Located at 2689 Sunset Point Road in Clearwater, FL, just off of Highway 19, rests the "small funeral home with a big heart." Owned locally by Daren A. Sternad, International Funeral Home understands that losing a loved one comes with an abundance of stress and sorrow. Fortunately, with the assistance of a compassionate, experienced, and knowledgeable director, funeral arrangements, including traditional burials or cremation, don't have to be an added burden. Times Have Changed... In recent years, many funeral homes have been acquired by large corporations. Those companies are driven solely by profit and, as a result, personal attention and genuine concern for the needs of the community are sacrificed while they continue to increase prices for the services and merchandise they promote. For family members already grieving and uncertain of the numerous options available to them, the high overhead costs generated by corporate owned facilities result in even more stress as they are smacked with outrages prices and limited, and often misleading, information. But Value Doesn't Have To... International Funeral Home isfamily owned--100% unaffiliated with impersonal, abstract, and faceless corporations.

Tips for a Successful End-of-Life Arrangements If feasible, pre-planned arrangements are ideal. Having things in place, whether for yourself or your loved one, proves beneficial in many aspects, particularly if finances are a concern. Pre-planned services and selections "lock-in" costs and prices beforehand. Further, it minimizes any confusion as to specific wishes being carried out or honored in the way the family, or deceased, desires. Keep important documents together in a safe place. A will, power of attorney, sensitive financial records, etc., while not necessarily required, will be useful to loved ones, family members, or a benefactor. Make sure someone trustworthy is aware of location of the documents. If solidifying funeral arrangements prior to the death is not possible, gather close family members to discuss the wishes of the deceased as well as any contributions they would like to make and the level of involvement they will have throughout the process. Emotions are, understandably, delicate during such a difficult time, so avoiding any unnecessary tensions or conflicts whenever possible is vital. Family and friends should lean on, and turn to, each other and be open and honest about any concerns they have before arrangements are finalized. Keep meaningful readings, quotes, scriptures, music, photographs, etc. in mind. These small additions add wonderful and distinctive personalized touches to arrangements designed to commemorate and celebrate life. When you meet with the Funeral Director, express the tone you would like to have set, whether it's a more traditional and formal atmosphere, or something intimate and casual. Make selections based on what best suites the personality of the life being commemorated. Research and know the options available which are, undoubtedly, numerous. Whether burial or cremation, there are many aspects of the arrangements that you have the ability to personalize or select specific items and services.
