Part of a traditional funeral service with burial includes a visitation or wake. This is an opportunity to personally offer condolences to the family, and in many cases, view the body of the deceased. Most often, this takes place prior to the funeral service, either the evening before or sometimes a few hours before.
During a funeral service, attendees can reflect on the cherished memories they shared with the deceased. It's a time for sharing stories, reading eulogies, and finding solace in the presence of loved ones. Our funeral services will provide a supportive and comforting atmosphere during this difficult time.
Customarily following the traditional funeral service is the burial, also known as a committal service, graveside service, or interment service. Burial is one of the oldest ways we care for the dead, and it is the most traditional end-of-life care option. For many, the burial component provides the most effective way to mourn the loss of a loved one and begin processing their grief. Witnessing the casket being lowered into the ground often gives people the closure they need and is seen by many as a proper goodbye. Others choose burial because it gives them a special place they can visit to reflect.
In essence, our funeral services offer a heartfelt and dignified way to say goodbye, providing a platform for remembrance and support when you need it most. We understand the importance of these moments, and we are here to guide and assist you with compassion and expertise. Contact us today for more information about our funeral services in Atlanta, GA.
