Concepts Of A Funeral Program And Saying Farewell

When a loved one dies, the funeral ceremony offers a formal way of saying goodbye. These services can often be personalized in order to reflect the individual's life. You can find help through the personnel at the mortuary who prepare the body.

When planning the service, consider the music you will use. You may opt for live music, through voice or instruments. Other options include the use of recorded music, which is growing in popularity.

Most of the time, there is a eulogist or officiant at the service. This individual may be a member of the clergy, a friend or family member. It is generally the responsibility of the family to communicate with the individual to officiate the service. If help is needed in contacting an appropriate individual, the mortuary can provide assistance. If planning a religious service, keep in mind some groups are more specific in what should be included than others are.

Often the individual may have been a part of a fraternal organization or served in the military. Such groups may be invited to take part in the service. Some have specific types of services, specific to their organizations. Veterans groups may offer the final playing of taps, salute to the deceased (21 gun), and present a flag to the family.

Families can also determine if they want to have a viewing as a part of the service. One option that is becoming more popular is the memorial service, in which the body is already cremated or buried and not at the service. However, these are personal decisions for the family.

It is never easy to say goodbye to a loved one who has passed. However, the funeral ceremony is an important part of the process for many. Plans for the services should be discussed before the passing of a loved one. This allows the survivors to make plans for a service they are certain would have been approved by the individual.
