Why Funerals Matter
Why have a funeral service? What is the purpose of having a funeral service?
Ceremony is an important part of our lives. Through the act of ceremony we mark important rites of passage, such a coming of age, moving home, anniversaries, marriages, births and death. No matter what nationality or faith, we all have our own ceremonies. rites and rituals that we perform at the time of a death.
A funeral service is a ceremony in which we say goodbye to someone who has died, we acknowledge, remember and celebrate their life.
The process of organising and taking part in a funeral service aids the grieving process by giving a focus to the loss of someone special and offers support to family and friends at a time when they are most vulnerable. By gathering together and sharing of stories, playing significant music; reading meaningful verses, singing, looking at photos and videos and reminiscing about our time together when they were alive, we begin the process of saying goodbye and accepting their death.
For many reasons, unlike the other important occasions in our lives, a funeral service is mostly unplanned major event. None of us know the circumstances, time, date or place of our death and so advanced planning for what we want to happen when we die, makes life easier for those we leave behind. Talking about our wishes doesn't make our time come any faster. Begin planning today. See Preplan and Prepay or Contact us to guide and assist you in the process.
