It is very common to ask – What is the purpose of a funeral service?
Rituals and ceremonies are intended to help us express our deepest feelings about some of life’s most important events. A funeral is no different. Most funerals help to fulfill three things:
1) Funeral services allow us to honor and pay tribute to the individual that has passed. Together, family and friends can remember and share memories about the life of their loved one.
2) Funeral services serve as a final goodbye to the physical presence of a loved one in our daily lives. It helps mark a difficult change that together, we will learn to accept.
3) Funeral services serve as an opportunity to support one another. Funerals act as a central gathering place for people to mourn their loss. Grief is very difficult to deal with, however, dealing with it alongside others can make it much easier.
One of our main missions here at House of Hills Funeral Home is to give your loved one the final tribute they deserve. Although it is a common belief, funeral services are not all the same.
