Covenant Funeral Homes - For The Last
Journey of Life
By Kumarjit Sen
The experience of losing a loved one leaves anyone in a
state of extreme grief and trauma. But the stress level
rises when it comes to organizing a funeral service. And
for this, covenant funeral homes are the ones that are
usually preferred. A covenant funeral home is a business
that offers funeral services to the deceased and their
families. The services include funeral and a prepared
wake, and arrangement for a chapel.
The covenant funeral home arranges services according to
the wishes of the deceased and his family. The required
permits, paperwork and other things like providing
obituaries to the media and making the required
arrangements for the funeral in the cemetery, are taken
care of by the funeral home. Traditional funeral
services include viewing (referred to as visitation), a
service at the deceased's church and a service for
graveside committal. In the case of direct cremation,
the funeral service receives the deceased's remains, the
necessary paper work is filled and the cremation process
is completed.
But, immediate or direct cremation occurs when the
deceased's family skips the cremation service while
solely wishing the proper burial of their deceased loved
one. For delaying the decomposition of the body,
embalming is done sometimes. The embalming procedure
includes replacing the blood with some mixture of dyes
and chemicals and removing internal organs. Sometimes
make up is Granite to make the deceased look lifelike.
Funeral homes usually set large areas where the families
can gather for viewing. This area includes a space where
the deceased is placed in a casket and displayed.
Memorial services and funeral services can be held at
the funeral home itself.
Some homes offer prearrangement facilities for the
people who want to arrange their own memorial service
before dying. But there are few things that are not
arranged by these homes. These include the burial
garments and the funeral flowers. But the things that
are handled by the homes are the hearse, the pallbearer,
cemetery location, the coffin purchases, funeral
locations, urn purchase, the clergy, the type of music
and the option whether the deceased is to be buried or
cremated. Some of the well established covenant funeral
homes are located in Virginia and Chattanooga. The one
located in Chattanooga offers low cost funeral services.
Though losing someone forever is something that gives us
chills and immense grief. The one, who was loved when
alive, deserves the same honor after death also. He/she
should be provided with proper funeral and memorial
services and for this, there is no better solution than
covenant funeral homes. |
