Etiquettes To Follow During Catholic Funerals And Cremations

Arranging catholic funerals means taking care of several things because there are several laws, rules and religious beliefs to follow. In this post, we look at some common funeral related etiquettes and manners to be aware of. 

Paying a visit to the family

• No matter to what religion you belong to or which culture you follow, one of the most common etiquettes is paying a visit to the family, where death has taken place.
• During visiting, don’t forget to take some flowers, if you are going to a funeral.
• Taking some cards is also a great thought, as through this card, you’ll be conveying your deepest condolence to the family.
• During such visits, your goal should be to make the family feel that you are really saddened by the loss and that you will be always available for them.

What to do?

• The funeral directors from catholic cemeteries say that catholic cremations are not the ideal places to take your loud mouth.
• Instead, it’s better to be genuine while sympathizing them and offer your words right from your heart.
• You should know that asking the details of the person's death would make them feel further depressed.

Giving Flowers to the Family

• According to the directors, sending flowers is a very influential gesture to let the family feel your affection.
• However, while sending these flowers, don’t forget to consider the religious and cultural beliefs of the family.
• This would assure that you don’t offend anyone from the family or hurt their emotions.
• With these flowers, you can even send a small note or a message written on the card that is available at the flower shops.
