If you are getting ready to attend the service of someone who died, it can be a good idea to consider the different options that there are and what that might mean for you. Some services, like Catholic services<\/a>, can be very traditional and somber and you want to be ready to honor the person as they would have wanted. If you have never attended Catholic service before, there are some things that you want to remember. Here are the tips that directors of funeral homes in Parlin, NJ<\/a> want you to keep in mind.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, Catholic services have three main parts. The first part is the wake or viewing, which is where people can recite the rosary together and offer each other comfort. Most of the time, casket is present but it is not always open. The wake can allow people to say goodbye to their loved one and to get closure. The next part is the funeral mass. The funeral mass takes place in the church where they received their sacraments throughout life. Usually, communion takes place and it is always going to be a very religious service. Once it is over, the casket is taken to the cemetery where there will be a brief graveside service.<\/p>\n

You want to remember that you have to dress appropriately for this kind of service. Catholic services are somber and so you want to choose an outfit that is dark and more on the conservative side. Another thing you have to remember is that you do not have to take communion if you do not want to. This is something that can make people nervous but it is not a requirement. You still want to be respectful of the religious aspects of the surface, so be sure to stand, kneel, or sit when called to do so.<\/p>\n

\"funeralYou want to think about sending the family a sympathy gift. Sympathy gifts can be a good option because they let the family know that you were thinking about them. Sympathy cards are always a good choice because it can offer personalized message of condolence to the family. Another thing that you want to consider is to send the family flowers. If that is what you want to do then be sure to choose to do so through a florist. Some people also decide to make addition in the name of the person who died. If that is something that you want to do, be sure that you ask the family if they agree to that.<\/p>\n
