No matter where it's held, a funeral is a structured ceremony. Each is intended to engage the living participants in activities which will transform their status within the community, provide mourners with a collective grieving experience, and celebrate a life lived.
We often get asked – What is the purpose of a funeral service?
Rituals and ceremonies help us express our deepest feelings and thoughts about some of life’s most important events. Most funerals help to fulfill these three things:
- Funeral services allow us to honor and pay tribute to the deceased. Together family and friends can remember the life of their loved one.
- Funeral services serve as a final goodbye to the physical presence of a loved one in our daily lives. It helps mark a difficult change that we will have to accept.
- Funeral services serve as an opportunity to support each other. Funerals act as a central gathering place for people to mourn the loss together. Grief is very difficult to deal with, but dealing with it on your own makes it even worse.
One of our main goals is to give your loved one the final tribute they deserve. Contrary to common belief, funeral services are not all the same. They can take on many different formats and styles. We work with you to create the funeral service that best honors your loved one’s life, allows the best way for you to say goodbye, meets your family's specific wishes, and fits within your financial budget.
We offer customization, and for the most part we can meet every detail you want. Additionally, we pride ourselves on providing some of the most affordable funerals in Minnesota.
