• Music: Music allows people to fully experience whatever it is that they are feeling, whether it be love, happiness, grief, or sadness. Playing your loved one’s favorite songs is also a reminder of their unique personality.
• Visitation: Having a wake, or visitation, allows friends and family to support each other after a loss. Often, the body will be present, which gives people the privilege of saying goodbye. A wake also creates a sense of a community around your loved one and brings together a group of people who can support one another in the months to come.
• Eulogy: Having friends and family write and read personal speeches about your loved one reminds others how special and important they have been in the lives of others. Choose people who knew your loved one well and encourage them to write creative, detailed, and thoughtful speeches.
• Procession, Committal Service, and Gathering: The procession is the passage from funeral service to final resting place. The committal service is the lowering of the casket into the grave. These events are often followed by a reception, which is often a less formal opportunity for friends and family to share stories of your loved one.
