Traditional Services
A traditional funeral service is a structured, formal gathering that typically includes a visitation or wake, a funeral ceremony, and a burial or entombment. The ceremony is held at a funeral home, church, or another chosen location, where clergy, family, or friends share words of remembrance. After the service, a procession to the cemetery follows, often concluding with a graveside committal. This option allows family and friends to come together for support, reflection, and a ceremonial farewell.
TYPES OF FUNERAL SERVICES
TRADITIONAL FUNERAL SERSVICE
A traditional funeral service is a more formal gathering that typically includes a visitation or wake, a funeral ceremony, and a burial or entombment. The ceremony is often held in a funeral home, church, or another meaningful location, with clergy, family, or friends offering tributes and prayers. A procession to the cemetery follows, where a brief graveside committal may take place. Traditional services allow for a structured and ceremonial farewell, providing an opportunity for family and friends to come together in support, reflection, and remembrance.
GRAVESIDE SERVICE
A graveside service is a simpler, more intimate ceremony that takes place entirely at the burial site. It typically includes prayers, readings, and words of remembrance before the final committal of the loved one to their resting place. This service can be held with or without a prior viewing or visitation. Graveside services are often chosen for their simplicity and cost-effectiveness, while still offering a dignified and meaningful way to say goodbye.
