Why have a funeral?

A funeral is for the living. It is a chance for you, your family and friends to come together to mourn the loss, but most importantly to celebrate the life of the deceased. It is an opportunity to come together and remember the person’s life and achievements, and to say goodbye in a way that feels appropriate to you.

Funerals can give strength to the bereaved family and friends to accept the death, express their emotions and begin preparing for the future.
