By Jason Gibson Parsons
There are many people who will have to plan a funeral
service sometime during their lifetime, whether it is
for a loved one, or or for someone else close to you, it
is important to know something about the process. There
are a number of resources that can be utilized when
planning a grave side service. The first of these would
be to check online for a graveside funeral planning
guide. There are websites that can give individuals
information about planning a graveside funeral service.
Generally your funeral home agent will also be able to
help you in planning your graveside memorial service as
they are well versed in these procedures and can be
great advisors in terms of planning the memorial and the
service in question.
People that are planning these memorials should bear in
mind the wishes of the deceased when planning these
services. Individuals need to bear in mind the length of
the ceremony, as most of the participants will be
standing. There also may be inclement weather conditions
in place and the needs of the guests need to be
considered when planning the graveside memorial itself.
Another thing to bear in mind when planning a graveside
service is the fact that a date needs to be selected for
everyone to attend. It also should be planned as either
a formal or informal ceremony. The ceremony itself
should reflect the wishes of the deceased, and what they
would have wanted for a memorial. Remember to notify all
family and friends as to when the ceremony will take
place and the exact time and date. It is also important
to remember to order a canopy tent so the guests in
attendance will not be effected adversely by the weather
conditions, or the sun. Also should there should be
special arrangements made if there is to be special
music provided at the ceremony.
Graveside funeral services can be a good way to say
goodbye to the individual in question and will be often
be the loved one's last memory of the deceased. It is
often fitting to let other family members or friends
give last tributes toward the deceased and discuss fond
memories they have. This will help make the graveside
memorial something to remember. Graveside funeral
services are often lovely and traditional sendoffs for
the deceased, and give the loved ones the chance to say
goodbye one final time.
