We often get asked - What is a funeral? Or What is the purpose of a funeral service?
Rituals and ceremonies help us to express our feelings and emotions during some of life’s biggest moments. A funeral service is no different. Although it marks a very sad moment in life, nonetheless it is a very important moment in life that should be given the proper acknowledgement. Most funerals help to fulfill these three things:
1) Funeral ceremonies allow us to honor and pay tribute to the life of a loved one. The deceased’s life deserves to be recognized and remembered by family and friends.
2) Funeral services serve as a final goodbye to the physical presence of a loved one in our daily lives. It helps mark a difficult change that we will have to accept.
3) Funeral services act as a central gathering for people to grieve and support each other. Grieving with friends and family can help in the healing process. Dealing with grief is very difficult, but dealing with it on one’s own makes it even more challenging. The funeral gives people an opportunity for people to provide the grieving family the comfort and support they need.
