Many aspects of our world and our cultures may change over time, but the importance of funeral etiquette is not one of them. People will always need to safely grieve, celebrate a life, and be treated with dignity and respect when they are dealing with the loss of a loved one. Neidhard Minges Funeral Home has over 100 years of experience providing funeral planning and memorial services in the Cincinnati, OH area. They have a deep understanding of funeral etiquette and would like to share some more information on why it matters.

Dealing with the death of a loved one can be very difficult and tiring. When guests at a funeral keep funeral etiquette in mind, they can avoid adding extra stress to an already challenging day. Arriving at the funeral home a few minutes early is always a good plan so that there are no upsetting interruptions to the funeral service.

Making careful choices about which children are prepared to sit through a funeral respectfully is also a good idea. While the family and friends hosting the funeral may be of a different religious background than you, it is important to always be polite and gracious as they move through their rituals so that they feel respected and supported. In our increasingly technological world, it is imperative to also remember to leave behind or turn off any cell phones that you have.

These simple attributes of funeral etiquette matter deeply to the grieving family and the funeral home that is serving them. If you are preparing for a funeral service, the funeral planning professionals at Neidhard Minges Funeral Home in Cincinnati, OH will be glad to advise, support, and serve you.
