Unfortunately when a loved one dies, grieving friends and family are quickly bombarded with lots of decisions to make regarding the funeral service. Normally when people make arrangements for a funeral service they believe the ceremony is for the deceased but actually it is for the mourning friends and family.
Funerals are in memory of our loved ones and are a way in which friends and family can share their feelings and emotionsand pay their respects to the deceased.
Funerals in Canada are divided into three sections
Visitation – Usually taken place one or two days before the funeral itself in an open casket, or if you wish a closed casket, so family and friends can pay their respects. A book, given to the deceaseds family, is autographed and records emotions and feelings felt by friends and family. Many families also show photographs and favourite possessions at the Visitation. This ceremony normally concludes with a prayer service (at a Catholic funeral the ceremony may also include a Rosary)
Funeral – Actual funeral services are influenced allot by cultural and religious traditions. You may decide on an elaborate ceremony or a simple and private affair. Each family is different and not everybody wants the same type of funeral. A traditional funeral includes a formal service, a hearse to take the body to the funeral site and either a cremation or burial of the body.
Most funeral services will normally include prayers and readings from the Bible. In many cases a family member or close friend of the deceased will give a speech of happy memories and any achievements the deceased may have made. These speeches and prayers can provide comfort for family and friends who are mourning.
Burial – The funeral service concludes with a burial service.
Close friends and relatives of the deceased are able to carry the casket from the chapel to the hearse and then after from the hearse to the site. A burial service is then held at the edge of the grave.
In many traditions a gathering of friends and family will occur after the burial either at the church or at another location.
