Value of a Funeral
- Acknowledge that a life has been lived.
- Allows mourners to remember and honor their loved one in a special way.
- Serves as a central gathering place for family and friends to give emotional and physical support to one another.
- Provides closure for the bereaved.
- Initiates the grieving process.
- Confirms the reality and finality of the death.
- Encourages mourners to face the pain of their loss and express their thoughts and feelings.
- Helps survivors to better cope with their grief and enables them to move forward with their lives.
Cremation
- Cremation is the second most common form of disposition in the United States
behind ground burial, and is selected for many reasons ranging from religious
beliefs or ethnic customs to cost. Most families electing cremation are believed
to do so simply because of personal preference.
- Some people are surprised to learn that cremation does not preclude a funeral
with all the traditional aspects of the ceremony. Visitation or viewing with
a funeral ceremony and church or memorial services are options to be considered.
Such rites are for the benefit of the living, to help family and friends find
support during their bereavement and to honor the life and memory of the deceased.
- Cremation creates new options, and as with any funeral arrangements can be as
individual as the people involved.
- After cremation many people prefer to bury the cremated remains in an urn or urn
vault. Above ground entombment, permanent possession or scattering are other choices
for final disposition.
