Why do we have funerals?

The funeral ceremony helps us acknowledge the reality of the death and gives testimony to the life of the deceased. It encourages the expression of grief, provides support to mourners and offers hope for the living. Funerals not only show respect for the dead, but furthermore help family and friends begin the healing process. Funerals are symbolic rituals that express our beliefs, thoughts and feelings about the death of a loved one.

What is Visitation/Calling Hours?

Visitation is simply a term used interchangeably with calling hours or wake. Typically, visitation is held before the funeral service, burial or cremation. This designated time gives family and friends the opportunity to share stories and say their goodbyes. Research on grief has shown family and community support is both beneficial and healing for families who are grieving.

The family typically arrives an hour beforehand to spend time alone with their loved one. Soon after, friends, neighbors, relatives and others in the community will come by the casket or urn, say a brief prayer or moment of silence, then proceed to greet the family and share stories and memories.

Does Miles provide Funeral Celebrants?

Yes, we do. Funeral celebrants work with our families in designing a service that is customized to whatever needs the family has. They work with our families to plan Celebrations of Life, traditional funeral services and memorial services. Celebrants are experienced and qualified to take on the role of officiating a service.
