Funeral Planning in Ogden, UT

At Leavitt's Mortuary & Aultorest Memorial Park, we’re here to offer Ogden, UT residents premier funeral planning support. We understand that the funeral planning process can be a highly emotional experience. Keeping track of everything that needs to be gathered and get done can be extremely overwhelming and leave you feeling stressed out on top of grieving. This doesn't have to be the case. Not only will our team take care of all the specifics for you, but we have also taken the time to provide a comprehensive checklist that we can go through together to make sure every detail is squared away. You can refer to this page over time or even print out your copy, so you have a reference throughout the process. Call now for immediate support, and we would be more than happy to assist.   

For starters, there is a long list of documents necessary for the funeral arrangement process. Whether you are pre-planning for yourself or gathering this information for a lost loved one, we will help you gather all the appropriate paperwork to ensure the process stays seamless. The documents you will need to obtain first and foremost are the Vital Statistics, including:

• The deceased’s date of birth, place of birth, and date of death
• The name of the deceased’s father, place of birth, and year
• The deceased’s mother’s maiden name, place of birth, and year
• A list of the deceased’s surviving family members
• The deceased’s educational history – elementary, high school, college, and graduate school

Along with the deceased’s Vital Statistics, you will need to gather some other valuable documents so the appropriate people and organizations can be notified as part of the long-term probate process. We have over nine decades in this line of work and can help you handle any issues with understanding or gathering the following:

• Social Security Number
• Insurance Policies
• Deeds to Burial Property
• Driver’s License
• Fraternal, Service, and Union Memberships
• Special Recognitions
• Charitable Organizations
• Any Other Important Documents and Passwords

Deciding on funeral plans can be a bit overwhelming. That's why the compassionate team at Leavitt's is here to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible. We can help you with traditional funeral ceremony arrangements, or even accommodate immediate burials and cremations. If your departed loved one had intentions of laying to rest in a veteran's cemetery, private cemetery, or on private property, we'll assist with making these special arrangements. Some of the items and information you will need to think about for the funeral ceremony include the following:

• Church affiliation with preferred clergy or celebrant
• Ordering a casket, urns, or memorial markers
• Obituary preferences
• Ordering flowers
• Memorial donations
• Reception venue and catering
