A Funeral Service has come to fill two important needs in todays society. First of all, it provides for the dignified and respectful care of the deceased. Equally important, the funerals service helps the survivors face the reality of death, the first big step towards overcoming grief. It brings together close friends and relatives who can lend support and consolation when they are needed most.

And, it affords those friends and relatives and opportunity to express the love and respect they feel for someone who was important to them. Many times, just seeing how much others cared can be a tremendous help to a family in adjusting to their loss. As on this day no one knows when lifes journey is at an end. At that particular moment family members may be most distressed.
