Funerals play a very important role in helping family members and friends deal with the death of a loved one. The staff at Adzima Funeral Home, in Stratford, CT, have helped countless families in Fairfield County plan funeral services and cremations since they opened their doors in 1914. 

Here, the family-owned funeral home shares several reasons why funerals are so valuable to the grieving process:

  • Funerals Help Support Surviving Family Members: Funerals offer the opportunity for friends, relatives, co-workers, and neighbors to visit the family and provide support. Although cards and emails are certainly welcome, a personal visit can help family members get through a very difficult time.
  • Funerals Provide A Safe Place To Express Pain: During a funeral, everyone is upset and emotional. Mourners can feel free to express their emotions without worrying that anyone will be critical of their behavior. When there is no funeral, it can be hard for people to find a place in which they can feel comfortable grieving.
  • FuneralFunerals Offer The Chance To Say Goodbye: Funerals help people come to terms with the fact that a friend or family member has died and offer the opportunity to say goodbye in a very personal way.
  • Funerals Provide The Opportunity To Remember And Honor A Special Person: During the visitation, funeral, and wake, mourners celebrate the person’s life and share stories. Sharing memories not only honors the deceased but also helps mourners feel supported and united in their grief. Without this ritual, mourners may feel as if they are alone in their grief. The staff at Adzima Funeral Home can help you write a meaningful eulogy or obituary that will honor the life of your loved one.
  • Funerals Help Provide Closure: A funeral is the final ritual in a person’s life. Although loved ones will continue to mourn the deceased long after the funeral, the ritual signifies that life must continue despite the loss of a family member or friend.

Rely on Adzima Funeral Home to help you plan a memorable funeral that will honor your loved one and provide solace to the surviving family members and friends. Call (203) 375-2200 or visit the Stratford funeral home online for more information about funeral planning.
