Funeral service

Through the funeral service

• the decease of a person is made public
• the deceased person is honored
• the deceased is symbolically brought over from the world of the living to the world of the dead
• consolation donated to those left behind
• reminds us of the mortality of all people
• the cohesion of the living strengthened

Everyone dies their own death

So it is also obvious to design the funeral service individually. All people are equal in death. This well-known saying is only partially correct. One speaks very differently about the circumstances of death alone.

Each farewell is conducted in its own spirit. Nevertheless, ceremonies that we know are used. This gives security. The religious attitude of the deceased and the bereaved is also essential here. It is precisely here that mourners need support from their church or religious community to help shape the funeral service, to express the appreciation of people, to give consolation and to convey the message of hope.
