Discovering Details Of Hosting A Memorial Wake

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.

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.

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.
