The Procession. It's also called the cortege. It's the procession from the funeral chapel, or church, to the grave site as a symbol of support by the public honoring the death. Our family and friends were led to the final resting place by the hearse containing the casket. The funeral home arranged a police escort for the procession and set up covered seating for family members at the grave site.

My relationship waned for two reasons: apathy and fear. The apathy was inexcusable, born from that arrogance of early adulthood where everything I was doing was too important to reschedule in order to take the time to travel to visit her.

Suits and dresses are the preferred attire. You are going to a funeral to pay your respects to the family and the deceased, so taking the time to dress up and follow proper funeral etiquette is a way that you can outwardly show the family what their loved one meant to you. For men, a suit and tie are great and women can either wear a black dress or skirt or a pantsuit.



Each person deals with death in her own way. Some people are in denial. Some turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to cope. Some simply stay stuck in their grief. The key to the transition from the preoccupation of death to the fullness of life is to work through the feelings and through each stage.

If you are having troubles choosing what kind of funeral your loved one should have then by all means speak with the funeral director. It is the funeral directors job to assist with every aspect of the funeral. They will have lots of ideas and even videos and brochures for you to look at. Remember even though this may be your first funeral to plan it certainly is not theirs. So relax and allow the experts to help you through this difficult time. They will even be able to assist you if you would like to have a themed funeral. Whatever you want they will be able to arrange for you. No matter how outrageous or traditional or religious based your choice may seem, rest assured they have seen and planned one like it before.
