Why Funerals Are Important

• Initiates the grieving process
  
• Acknowledges the importance of a life that has been lived
  
• Can be personalized to allow mourners to remember and honor their loved one in ways that are special and meaningful
  
• Serves as a central gathering place for family and friends to give emotional and physical support to one another
  
• Provides closure for the bereaved
  
• Confirms the reality and finality of the death
  
• Encourages mourners to face the pain of their loss and express their thoughts and feelings
  
• Helps survivors to better cope with their grief and assist in enabling them to move on with their lives
