How Funeral Services Work
Death is an inevitable reality that all of us have to face but planning the funeral of a family member can still be very disturbing. However, like most unpleasant things in life, it must be dealt with, and you will have to make some preparations for the funeral service. You can get the help you need in making the arrangements from any funeral home, but you should keep a few things in mind before proceeding.
The dead person’s life and beliefs are reflected in the funeral and therefore, it is essential to organize it properly. Most funeral homes are willing to make slight alterations in their basic method of funeral services for including certain cultural or religious practises of the departed and of his or her family.
The very first phase of a funeral service can range from a couple of hours to various days and it is known as visitation. Here, the family and acquaintances gather to remember their loved one. This is succeeded by the formal funeral service, which may be held in the chapel of the mortuary, or a church of your choice, or even at any other site which was special to the deceased. You will also have to book a funeral coach or hearse to carry the body, if the funeral is to take place at an outdoor spot.
After this service, the gatherers usually proceed to the cemetery to participate in the graveside service. This can be handled by the clergy or any close relative of the deceased, based on the family’s preference. Certain matters need to be focused on at this stage involving the person leading the service, if some items of the deceased will be displayed, and the kind of flowers to be used.
The last part of the proceedings is the burial, and the site for it can be any spot as per the preference of the family members or of the deceased person. The dead person can be buried in family plots or in mausoleums, or be cremated after which their ashes can be scattered where they had intended.
