In this episode of the Better Together Podcast, host Steph Cain is joined by Chris Branson and Nick Rittman of Jewell-Rittman Family Funeral Home for a conversation about what happens after a loved one dies. Together, they walk through the first steps families can expect, from contacting the funeral home to making arrangements, choosing between burial and cremation, planning a service, and finding ways to honor a loved one’s life. Chris and Nick also discuss the value of pre-planning, how it can ease stress for loved ones, and why having a plan in place can bring comfort during an overwhelming time. They share how funeral care has changed over the years, including more personalized services, online planning tools, memory tables, videos, and options that reflect each family’s wishes and traditions.
