There will be many things you need to do after the death of a loved one and this can be overwhelming. One of these things can be to put together a reception after the funeral or memorial. Receptions can be a great way to get people to mingle and feel less alone with their loss, but you may be feeling stressed about having to make arrangements for this, as well. To make things a bit easier, there are some tips that providers of cremation services in Northeast Philadelphia, PA<\/a> want you to consider.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You want to have someone helping you with these arrangements<\/a>. Having to do the work yourself and on your own is something that can make everything more difficult, so turn to people you trust. You want to be able to focus on the other funeral arrangements that you have to make, so delegate some things for people you trust to do to prepare the reception.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is important to know what kind of budget you have available before you start planning the reception. The budget will impact everything from the location that you choose to the kind of refreshments that you will have for the guests. Ask for quotes from the different companies you plan on considering and from the locations you are thinking about. This will allow you to get a sense of how much you can expect to pay.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once you have a budget, consider where you want to have the reception. Funeral homes sometimes have package deals for those who want to have the service and the reception in the same place. You can also look at places of worship if that is what your loved one would have wanted, or you can even think about having the reception at home if you will have a smaller group of guests.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Something that people worry about and that can make it more stressful to plan a reception is whether or not to invite all of the guests or a select few. This will depend on the budget you have. If you want to invite everyone, then you can let them know of the reception in the obituary or even during the service itself. If you want a few people only, then you can send them individual invitations or call them and let them know. Consider this before making a decision about how many people to invite.<\/p>\n
