The Value Of A Funeral

 

 

 

 

 

The purpose of a funeral is to provide a way of commemorating a life and bringing together friends and family members so they can support each other as they share fond memories.  Although different religious denominations have created guidelines and rituals that they follow for conducting funeral services, there is no right or wrong way to plan a funeral.

 

  The most important thing to keep in mind when creating a service or commemoration is that it should be reflective of the person's life. While religious elements may play a major part, it should also include memories about the person's life that help everyone recapture and revisit their own memories.  Sometimes this is best accomplished by having friends or family members share their reflections as part of the service.  Some people personalize the service with special music (which may be religious or non-religious). Others bring in pictures to have at the service. Often favorite things that belonged to the deceased are integrated into the service such as personal momentos  and keepsakes.

  

  Our goal is to give a true sense of who your loved one was.  A funeral service recognizes that death is a sad event, but is also a celebration of one's life.

 

  The value of the funeral depends on how well it is planned.  Bottini Funeral Home strives to create funeral services that accommodate the beliefs and wishes of the family.
