Discovering The Basics Of Hosting A Wake At A Memorial

The tradition of the wake dates back to having relatives and friends remain awake with the body before being transported to a church. The churches would take over the burial process allowing loved ones to grieve and honor the person who has passed away. There are a number of factors to take into consideration when planning a funeral wake.

Should a close friend or family member pass away, it places a great deal of emotional and financial strain on relatives. To host a memorial ceremony, those who shared in the life of the deceased should be notified including an obituary. Contacting the relevant guests should include the date, time, and the place for the service.

A funeral home is often responsible for hosting the event. It is important to consult with reputable professionals in the industry who can advise on valuable solutions and prepare the body for viewing. The placement of flowers and the relevant decorations can assist in the creation of an honorable proceeding.

If you wish, enlarged photographs of the deceased may be placed in the room to honor their memory. It should reflect good moments in the life of the deceased and best reflect the personality that most remember them by. All relatives, friends, and neighbors who attend the ceremony should be greeted upon entry.

A parlor will often include a guestbook to sign and leave messages of support. The catering will need to be taken into consideration including the provision of snacks and drinks for the visitation. Not all facilities include food for guests and therefore it should be discussed with the business.

Hosting a funeral wake requires a fair amount of planning with a focus on honoring the memory of the deceased. It can involve sessions of grief or a time to celebrate their life. Parlors can assist in providing for such an event and in making the best possible decisions.
