The Basics Of A Traditional Funeral Service

This event commonly takes place at church, community hall or at the graveside. It can include music, the reading of literary or religious passages, a eulogy, prayer and the singing of hymns.

Commital Service

Reception

Many choose to host this post-service gathering at a reception hall. This is considered a time to share stories, memories and support.

A funeral service, whether traditional or more modern (memorial service or celebration-of-life), has two functions: to acknowledge the death and lifetime achievements of an individual and to bring grieving family members and friends together in support of one another during this difficult time. This is the entire purpose of having some sort of service following the death of someone, whether it be a full traditional funeral or some variation or memorial service, celebration of life or graveside service. Many people find great comfort in any type of acknowledgement service.
