Concepts Of A Funeral Program And Saying Final Words

When you lose a loved one to death, a funeral ceremony offers a formal way to say goodbye. Such services should be personalized to reflect the life of the individual. The mortuary you use offers assistance in planning an appropriate service for your loved one.

Music is often an important part of services. You may choose someone to sing or play an instrument live. The use of prerecorded music has become very common in many areas. In addition, the mortuary may have an organist on staff.

There is usually a eulogist or officiant for the service. This person may be a clergy member, family friend or even a member of the family. The family is generally responsible to communicate with the individual in planning the service. In some cases, families need help in contacting a person who can do this job. Most mortuaries offer assistance. Keep in mind that some religious ceremonies may include specifics as to what is included in the services.

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.

The family can also decide about the viewing and whether they want it to be a part of a service. While considered traditional in some locations, it is not in others. No matter what the local customs, this is truly a decision the family can make.

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.
