The Purpose of a Funeral
A funeral service fulfills several important needs in today's society. First, it provides for the respectful care of the deceased by providing a special tribute to a unique life.

A funeral brings together relatives and close friends who can lend support and comfort when needed most.
A funeral also gives friends and relatives the opportunity to express the love and respect they feel for someone who was very important to them. Just seeing how much others care can be a tremendous help to a family adjusting to their loss.
