Most of us are somewhat familiar with the traditional funeral service. With the body of the
deceased present, scripture is read and eulogies are made under the direction of the clergy.
The location of a traditional service usually takes place at a funeral home or a church. If
visitation does take place, then it will occur the day or days immediately preceding the actual
funeral. Sometimes the deceased is embalmed so the body can be viewed in an open casket.
After the memorial service takes place, the body is transported to a cemetery via a hearse.
This is usually accompanied by a procession of cars. When the body arrives at its final
destination, it is lowered into its gravesite where another short burial ceremony takes place.
Rosewood will take care of all the logistics and paperwork. This will include recovering
the body from the location that they passed, filing for permits and the death certificate
and notification of the local papers with an obituary.
Rosewood will gladly assist families with anything that is needed at this most difficult time.
These include transportation for the deceased and family via limo, flowers at the funeral home
and the gravesite (or religious building) chosen by the family, embalming and performance of
the service.
