By Claudine Hodges


Life on earth has numerous uncertainties. These come at any stage in life and at times can be life changing or even life ending. One is never sure how long they will live.

The procedure used in organizing an international funeral is very elaborate.

Death can be attributed to several things in this generation. People drown in the water bodies everyday either due to recklessness or inevitable accidents. Others suffer from illnesses that eventually claim their dear lives. Such diseases illnesses include the likes of cancer, Ebola, malaria and many others. The death of these people necessitates the organization of a funeral ceremony.

People die in many unique places and while the bodies of some can be retrieved others merely vanish. For instance the victims of a plane crash that burn to ashes and nothing is left to be taken home. Other cases include those drown at sea and are never seen again. However, for those that die under more definite circumstances a burial ceremony will be in order.

The organization highly depends on the scale of the event. Most funeral ceremonies are basically between family members and friends. These are small events and can be locally handled by the family members and well wishers. International funerals however are more demanding in nature and require a lot more expertise.

The work of these people inspired several people from different countries who would wish to pay their tribute by attending the fare well ceremony.

In such cases, the organizing committee should be very vigilant to properly cater for all areas of this ceremony. The ceremony will most probably be planned in the cultural ways of particular deceased person or as they indicated in their final words or will. However, the services of a professional event organizer must be hired here. This person will know best how to plan the flow of events to the comfort of all in attendance.

Care has to be taken when selecting the organizer of the event. He has to be highly reputable with a high success rate with previous events. They should also be high on experience and have the capacity to handle the demands of this ceremony in terms of facilities. Also the company should be familiar with the cultural ways of the deceased member for easy flow of activities.

Finally before any other preparation is undertaken, the venue for this event should also be selected. This place should be central in nature for easy accessibility. It should also have the capacity to accommodate very many people. A system should be established to distribute the costs of this event so that the family does not incur so much eventually.
