Great Advices For Planning A Wake At A Memorial

The hosting of wakes are based on an ancient tradition where the family was required to remain awake at the side of the body until it is ready to be moved to the church. From the place of storage at a church it would be prepared for the burial or the cremation process. The preparation of a funeral wake requires a number of considerations for a smooth and memorable process.

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.

The funeral home is often responsible for the hosting of such a ceremony. The facility should be notified of the number of guests that will attend and the preparation required for the body. Flowers and similar decorations can be placed in the room for an honorable service.

Individuals often prefer to place a picture of the deceased near the entrance or the casket. It serves to honor memory and appearance as it reflects the positive moments of life. One needs to be present to greet the guests as they arrive who will be allowed to share their condolences and empathy.

The parlor may provide a guestbook to sign as individuals enter the facility. Do not forget to consider the catering including light snacks and drinks for those who have made the time to attend the visitation. The facility may not provide the foodstuffs and therefore alternative arrangements will have to be made.

A funeral wake is a traditional procedure that is held to remember and honor the person who has passed on. It can focus on the celebration of life or a mourning process in which guests are able to offer their condolences and share fond memories. Careful planning and consultation with a parlor can aid in making the most suitable decisions.
