A Rite Of Saying Farewell: The Funeral
February 20, 2010 3:19 am SocietyShock and disbelief. These are our immediate responses when a person very close to us passes away. Often, it is very hard to accept the demise of a loved one.
Then, when the shock has worn off, it is replaced by deep sorrow. Anguished and mourning, making funeral arrangements for their dearly departed can be so hard.
The crushing anguish one experiences after a loved one dies can incapacitate the person from making arrangements for a decent funeral service for their departed loved ones.
Usually, well-meaning relatives and friends will manage the job of preparing the funeral service. Nevertheless, these well-intentioned individuals may hasten the process in the misguided notion that the bereaved’s life has to get back “to normal” as soon as possible. Usually, funerals arranged this way fails to give due commemoration to the life of the one who passed away.
Funeral directors acknowledge a mourning family’s fragility at the moment of demise of their loved ones. This is a very special and sensitive moment. It will provide the bereaved a last opportunity to demonstrate how much they treasure the life and the memories of the person who passed away.
In order to have a efficient flow of the funeral service that is to the wishes of the bereaved family, the funeral director should closely coordinate with the bereaved. Then, it is in the hands of the funeral director to ensure that the bereaved’s wishes are accomplished and that the remembrance of the life of the deceased will be as decent and as fervent as it is supposed to be.
Funeral directors and funeral houses could also tak care of the particulars of fulfilling the state or country requisites if the bereaved or deceased had a special injunction for the burial (such as a sea burial, cremation, etc.).
For the bereaved family, the funeral is one way by which they can let out their sorrow over the passing away of their loved ones. A funeral is vital in healing the pain left by the loss of someone with whom they shared their life with.
The funeral is a way of bidding goodbye and yet, also, a means of holding on to the memories of those we love close to our hearts.
