WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BY HEATH CARROLL
A SENSE OF OCCASION
As a ceremony that sanctifies, celebrates, and remembers the life of one who has died, a funeral merits all the attention that any life-altering occasion would receive. To this end, a funeral should be a deeply personal affair that reflects the deceased’s religious and cultural traditions and individual personal preferences. All this can be achieved with the help of a funeral director, who can help preplan such aspects of a funeral as casket selection, body presentation, and the manner and form of remembrance. Without such directives in place, surviving members will be forced to make important decisions under great duress. Funeral preplanning takes much of the anxiety out of an event that may seem to arrive with little notice.
The funeral is an observance for those who mourn. It provides an opportunity for the survivors and others who share in the loss to express their love, grief and appreciation for a life that has been lived. It allows those who grieve to face openly and realistically the crisis a death presents.
