The Purpose of a Funeral
Funerals help us acknowledge that someone we love has passed on. Funerals allow us to say goodbye. Funerals offer continuity and hope for the living. Funerals provide a support system for us, friends, family members and the community. When someone dies, the funeral is not for them, it’s about them. The funeral is for everyone who knew, loved and was connected to that person. For some people, the word ‘funeral’ misrepresents the fact they may want a simple farewell. You don’t have to call it a funeral; call it a gathering, a tribute, a farewell, a ceremony, a send-off, a get-together, whatever suits you best.
