What Is a Traditional Funeral Ceremony?
A traditional funeral service is one that includes a viewing or visitation before the service and a formal funeral service with religious and/or cultural traditions incorporated. Traditional funeral services typically include the use of a hearse to transport the body, a church service or graveside service, and either burial or cremation of the remains. During a traditional funeral ceremony, most people choose to have prayers, readings, hymns, eulogies, and a short sermon or speech given by a religious or spiritual leader.
Our Options for Traditional Funeral Services
We will meet with you and your family to discuss your personal religious and cultural needs so that they can be incorporated into the funeral ceremony and proceedings with respect and attention to detail. We can coordinate and plan the following events for you and your family and loved ones:
- Wake or Visitation – The wake or visitation is typically held either the day before the funeral ceremony or on the same day. Holding a wake or visitation gives guests the opportunity to say goodbye and share their grief. We can hold an open or closed casket service. The wake or visitation can be held at our location, or we can handle the booking services at a venue of your choice. We will handle all aspects of preparing your loved one for the viewing, including embalming and dressing. We will also arrange transportation from the wake or visitation to the cemetery or committal service.
- Funeral Ceremony – We will work with you and your family to plan a personalized funeral ceremony that incorporates your religious and/or cultural beliefs. The ceremony will reflect your loved one's wishes and values and provide a dignified and respectful tribute to their life and legacy. The funeral ceremony can be held at the location of your choice, and we will manage the booking and planning details. We can work with your church, synagogue, temple, or other venue to ensure everything is ready for the funeral ceremony. We will also coordinate the program to include the events of your choice, such as prayers, eulogies, hymns, songs, music, and more.
- Committal Service or Burial – After the funeral service, we will arrange transportation to the cemetery for burial services or another committal service location. We will handle set-up at the cemetery, mortuary, internment site, or mausoleum.
- Funeral Reception – Many families hold a funeral reception after the funeral ceremony. This gives family and friends the chance to talk, share memories, and comfort each other in their time of grief. We can arrange all the details of the funeral reception for you, including booking a venue and arranging food and refreshments.
