Funeral Services

You will need to decide at the time whether a burial or cremation is required or you are repatriating a deceased overseas. Also what type of service you are going to have a dual or single service.

A single service is commonly held at one location, it often means less time spent on travelling. The use of our chapel provides more flexibility with timing. Families are welcome to use our facilities for wakes and refreshments. Most common places for a single service are at graveside, crematorium or funeral home chapel.

A dual service is the most requested type of funeral. It usually involves a service either in a church or at a chapel and then a funeral procession to the cemetery or crematorium. This provides the greatest opportunity for tradition, participation and attendance of family and friends.

Many people make the choice whether to have a viewing or a cremation based on the traditions of their religion and culture. If you do not wish to follow a tradition, the wishes of the family or the deceased will be also carried out. Please do not rush these decisions as they are very important. The Funeral Director will guide you through the specific details at an Arrangement Consultation.

A Guide to Funeral Services: What to Expect

The funeral services offered by mortuaries are most often aligned with the wishes of the family members or the deceased. The major aim of such services are not just to honor the departed but also to assure that everything in the funeral is following the standards of law.

Careful planning and budgeting is necessary in order to make the most out of the final moments of the deceased in the physical world. The funeral, being a means for airing the final farewell should be facilitated with dignity and honor that is due. The following are some of the funeral services offered by funeral homes:

• Pick up of the remains of the departed: From the home of the departed, the body is taken to the funeral parlor.
• Embalming of the body: This is necessary for sanitation and preservation purposes.
• Other preparations of the remains (make up, clothes): Such steps as applying make up and dressing up the departed are necessary to make deceased presentable for viewing of loved ones, relatives, and friends who are grieving.
• Casket or coffin: This will serve as the containing case of the remains after embalming until the interment.
• Facilities and staff for the viewing of the remains of the departed: During the viewing, it is necessary to utilize the services of some facilities and staff. Most of the time, the rates are on an hourly basis.
• Facilities and staff for funeral and memorial services: Funeral and memorial services, broadly defined include everything from pick-up, embalming, viewing, and interment or cremation.
• Facilities and staff for services rendered at the graveyard: The facilities and labor that has been rendered during the actual interment or burial of the deceased
•  Transportation: The car used for the transfer of the remains from the viewing area to the cemetery during the viewing.
• Obituary placement in local or national dailies: This service is optional but proves to be helpful in the information dissemination to let the family, relatives, and friends know of the death of a person, venue for viewing, and interment schedule.
• Purchase of lot for interment: It is necessary to pay for the lot for burial. For cremation, the alternative is a jar container.
• Marker or tombstone: A marker or tombstone is essential for locating the exact site where the body was buried at the cemetery.

Viewing

Since viewing is one of the most important parts to say your last goodbye, we take perfect care of it. This should be done though it can be avoided by the personal choice of the family or kin of the passed. Usually we arrange the viewing in one of our beautiful chapels or in church.

Viewing helps family members of the passed to know our funeral director’s support to the needs that they wished to have. Our funeral staffs will be working on your command to provide all sort of support and requirements. However the time limit depends on your wish. It can either be a few minutes or several hours under your command.

There are certain periods when our Funeral Director may not think or consider appropriateness of having a viewing. We would discuss if that situation ever comes. This is to make sure all happens well for the family and kin.
