There will come a time for many individuals when they will go on a final trip.
No, it isn’t because they want to stop traveling. It is rather their health is making it so they will not be able to travel any longer.
If you have a loved one or close friend in such a situation, will you do all you can to make sure they have the time of their life?
Where to Go One Last Time?
In trying to decide where to take that last trip, take into account several factors.
First, where do they most enjoy being at?
For some individuals, there is nothing more relaxing than being by the water.
From watching the waves roll in to seeing that sunset above the ocean, they find peace and harmony.
If your loved one or close friend wants such a trip, it can be easier than you thought to pull it off.
Look into renting a boat for the day. You can gather family and friends and set sail for what will be an emotional and yet enjoyable time.
The trip can also serve as a pre-cursor to when your loved one passes. Would he or she for their final act want a burial at sea?
If the answer is yes, such services can be occur.
To get such a service together, your first move can be going online.
There are different businesses out there offering burials at sea and more. Such a burial will mean scattering the ashes of your loved or friend in the ocean. When you do this, they can end up resting at a place they found to be comfortable and enjoyable to visit over the years.
When looking at businesses with such services, see how they compare when it comes to service and cost. Once there is a selection, the services can then take shape.
Getting Through Tough Times
When one deals with terminal illness or knows they are not able to travel any longer, it is not only them who suffer.
Although they have to deal with physical and mental pain, others battle emotions. Pain that is to know your loved one will not be around for too much longer.
If you do decide to help someone close to you with their final trip before they die, some options can include:
· Ocean – As mentioned, heading out to the ocean or a favorite lake or river can be quite enjoyable for all involved.
· Mountains – For some, there is nothing more relaxing in life than time spent in the mountains. You could arrange a day trip or even a weekend getaway to a mountain retreat.
· Cross-country getaway – If one is fit to travel, suggest a cross-country adventure. Seeing many states can be quite fun and interesting.
· Family reunion – Last, how about getting family members together for a reunion. It can be nice to reunite with cousins, aunts, uncles and others one has not seen for many years. You want to keep the vibe as positive as possible. That said this can be a good time for people to say goodbyes to the person they are likely not going to see again.
When it comes to planning one’s final trip, make sure you take into account their wishes.
Remember, this trip is for them.
