The Funeral Ceremony, Style and Experience

There is no legal obligation to hold a funeral service although most cultures and religions observe funeral rites. As well as an occasion to show love and respect to the person who has died, it gives family and friends another way to say goodbye, express their grief and acknowledge the death – all of which can be beneficial to the grieving process.

The ceremony can be as formal or as informal as you wish and it’s entirely up to you how much a part religion should have to play.
