Services Offered by Funeral Homes METRO SERVICES
The period surrounding the death of a loved one can be difficult to navigate. Mourning a recently deceased family member or friend can dominate individuals’ thoughts, compromising their ability to devote much time and energy to anything else. Some people decide to pre-plan their funerals to ensure their wishes are honored upon their death. Preplanning can also afford survivors more time to grieve and ensure they will not need to make hard decisions at a difficult time in their lives. When a deceased individual makes no such plans, family members are tasked with planning the funeral, a process that can be simplified with the help of experienced staff at a nearby funeral home. Funeral homes
offer an array of services that can ensure ceremonies honor the life of the deceased and take some of the pressure off that person’s surviving family members. • Honor the deceased: No two people are the same, so there is no one-size-fits-all template for a funeral service. Funeral home staff recognize that and can often help families identify unique traits about the deceased that can be conveyed during the ceremony. Whether it is playing a favorite song or choosing an especially meaningful passage from a religious text or a favorite book, funeral home staff will work with families to personalize the ceremony as much as loved ones desire.
14 | In Loving Memory | Sunday, January 14, 2024
• Establish the desired ambiance: Funerals tend to be somber, but they also can be celebratory. Funeral home staff can help families establish the desired tone of the service by showcasing how the viewing space can be decorated and prepared for visitations. • Organize the ceremony: Funeral home staff also can help grieving families organize the ceremony, including contacting clergy to preside over the service. Funeral staff also may reach out to extended family members whose immediate family may want to perform certain functions in the ceremony, such as reading passages and serving as pallbearers. Funeral directors also may request military honors for
the ceremony if the deceased is a veteran. • Burial details: If the deceased is being buried, funeral staff can contact local cemetery officials and get the details on the purchase of a plot if no plot has been purchased previously. Funeral staff also can help families choose a casket and burial liner and organize additional details that grieving relatives may know little about. If the deceased is being cremated, funeral home staff can coordinate the cremation process and help family members choose an appropriate urn. Funeral homes provide an array of invaluable services to families mourning the loss of a loved one.
