The moment of a passing is one of the most painful experiences in anyone´s life and having to make all the arrangements and choices regarding the ceremony can be emotionally overwhelming. Despite the amount of suffering, and apparent incapability of organizing the funeral service, such a gathering values and celebrates the life and individuality of the one who passed away. It is an important expression of love and friendship a respectful final farewell. That is why through their funeral directors, Atlantic Highlands funeral homes focus on covering all the details and easing their clients’ burden.
A funeral ceremony can be traditional or can be tailored according to the wishes of the family. Therefore, the setting of the service may be a chapel, church or a more relaxed environment such as the deceased’ home or garden. Also, the person officiating the ceremony can be freely chosen as well as the overall design from the deceased favorite flowers to various gifts.
Funeral homes offer both cremation services and traditional burials. Each of these can be followed by memorial ceremonies in which the family and the community may peacefully comfort each other and honor the memory of the deceased.
In this sense poems, music, images and videos with significant frames from the individual´s lifetime contribute to the process of saying goodbye. Posting an obituary on specially created memorial websites is also a method of paying respects and underlining the qualities of the deceased. This way, your loved one will be remembered and missed by all those with whom he ever bonded.
