Grief is a natural process that helps us come to terms with the loss of a loved one. When we do not have the opportunity to honour their memory through a meaningful funeral ritual, it can be difficult to process our loss and find closure.
Rituals, such as funerals, have been an important part of human culture for millennia. They provide a space for us to gather, express our grief, and begin the healing process. By marking significant life events, including loss, we acknowledge their importance and find comfort in shared experiences.
“Charles CravenI believe in the importance of having a meaningful funeral ceremony and saying a proper goodbye to your loved one.
Throughout history, every culture has had its funeral rites, many of which are unique. Still, they all serve a common purpose: to enable mourners to express their grief through the rituals and symbols consistent with their culture and values.
The end goal behind the funeral ceremony, wherever in the world you may be, is to bring the bereaved to acknowledge the reality of the death. It is only then that we can begin to reconcile our grief and go on to find continued meaning in life and living.
Our increasingly mourning-avoiding culture is forgetting these crucial purposes of the meaningful funeral. I am deeply concerned that the mental health of bereaved individuals and families will suffer if a loved one's passing is not marked with an authentic funeral service.
“Thank you for all your help. The day went smoothly and I would highly recommend your company.
