1. Visitation
This is often called a viewing or a wake. Guests come to pay their respects to the deceased by viewing their body and spending time with the grieving family. A visitation can occur at any time before the funeral service.
2. Funeral Service
This event commonly takes place at the funeral home, a church, or at the graveside. It can include music, the reading of literary or religious passages, a eulogy, prayer, and the singing of hymns.
3. Committal Service
If the family plans to bury the deceased, this stage involves the vehicle procession to the cemetery.
4. Funeral Reception
Many choose to host this post-service gathering (or repast) at a reception hall. This is considered a time to share memories, laughter, and support. The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members. Pre-payment will protect you from the rising cost of prices, and it will not be a financial burden on your loved ones. When you plan ahead you know that your wishes will be fulfilled.
