What is a Funeral Service?
Each component of a funeral service is intended to engage the guests in activities which will transform their status within the community, provide mourners with a collective grieving experience, and celebrate a life lived.
It could be said then, the focus of a funeral lies in acknowledging change. And without doubt, people have trouble dealing with profound changes like the death of an integral member of the group. When you take this perspective, it becomes easier to understand the importance of ceremonially acknowledging the loss of a loved one.
Components of a Typical Funeral Service in Baltimore
- Visitation: This is often called a viewing or a wake. Guests come to pay their respects to the deceased by viewing their casketed body and spending time with the grieving family. A visitation can occur at any time before the funeral service.
- Funeral Service: This event commonly takes place at the funeral home, a church, or at the graveside. It can include music, the reading of literary or religious passages, a eulogy, prayer, and the singing of hymns.
- Committal Service: If the family plans to bury the deceased, this stage involves the vehicle procession to the cemetery.
- Funeral Reception: Many choose to host this post-service gathering (or repast) at a reception hall. This is considered a time to share memories, laughter, and support.

For families and individuals living in Baltimore, Kingsville, Nottingham or the surrounding areas, a funeral service can mean many things. Some fall back on what is commonly called a "traditional funeral"; others see that same traditional funeral service as an emotionally unfulfilling event. Fortunately, thanks to a number of unique social forces, there are alternatives. Today, end-of-life commemorative services range from the traditional funeral, to a memorial service and the increasingly popular celebration-of-life .
