The death of a loved one is a painful and challenging time for family and friends. Making the right funeral arrangements can be a confusing road to navigate. Luckily, family-owned Leo M. Bean and Sons Funeral Home is here to guide members of the Rochester, NY, area community through the process. Their staff is ready to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about funeral services:

• What Is A Funeral? A funeral is a ceremony to celebrate the life of a loved one and the myriad of emotions brought out by their death. It allows family and friends to openly express and deal with their feelings about death.
• What Type Of Funeral Services Should You Get? This depends on the wishes of the family. Services are usually held at a funeral home or a place of worship. The service may include many acquaintances, or be invite-only for a small group of family and close friends. A memorial service is a service without the body present.
• What Do Funeral Directors Do? Funeral directors facilitate the body’s transportation, complete paperwork, organize the ceremony, and make the final arrangements for the body. They are trained to be caring and can provide grieving families with the support they need.
• What Happens To Your Loved One After Death? Embalming, Earth or tomb burial, and cremation are all options. Embalming preserves and enhances the appearance of a body as well as slowing the final process between death and disposition. It allows family and friends to view the loved one’s body after death. In contrast to traditional Earth or tomb burial, cremation involves burning the body and storing the ashes.
