PROVIDING DIRECTION
TO THE LIVING Regardless of religious affiliation, funerals everywhere share the common thread of being communal events that feature the life-affirming rituals of remembering the deceased and comforting surviving family and friends. These traditional practices help to counter the isolating emotion that comes with grieving. Few people are more experienced in guiding the grieving process and directing the rituals surrounding death than the funeral director, who can offer advice in all such matters. When the grief-stricken must confront death without the support of inherited faith or liturgy, they may turn to the funeral director for guidance during this most disruptive period in their lives. By affirming the transcendence of life, we allow grief to find expression.
