The most important thing to do is honour the deceased while choosing funeral services. That is why you need to consider Old Mission San Luis Rey Cemetery. Visit cemetery webpage at Mission’s official website at http://www.sanluisrey.org/cemetery/

 
Funerals and death are hard for any family as it shakes their very root. Losing someone close is a blow to the family and organizing a funeral an added burden. This burden can be lightened by hiring the professional funeral service providers who look into all the funeral related matter. Some of the parts of funeral are as follows:
1. Visitations
Visitations usually take place on the evening before the burial or the morning immediately before the burial service. Visitations are organized by the family members of the departed soul with the help of the funeral coordinator. This is done in order to provide a platform for all the friends, well-wishers and acquaintances to visit the dead for the last time and pay their last respects. In visitations, the body of the deceased is kept in a casket or coffin and placed on alter in the religious institutions or a private room, people go batch by batch and pay their homage. The casket can be kept open or closed as per the wishes of the family members.
2. Minister and prayers
The funeral coordinator works closely with the priest presiding over the funeral service. The priest can either be hired directly by the deceased’s family members or can be brought in by the service providers. The main work of the priest is to overlook the funeral service and to conduct the memorial service with prayers and hymns. The minister talks about the glory of Lord and about death as a celebration to a new life. Time is allotted to the priest for conducting the service as the entire ceremony is of about and an hour or so. The priest also introduces the family members to say few personal words about the deceased. The minister also preside the graveside burial service.
3. Eulogy and speeches
Few members of the family with the help of service coordinators prepare a eulogy which is part of the funeral ceremony. They write down a short speech which praises the life led by the departed soul and glorifies his or her relation with the dead. These are emotional speeches and carry a lot of meaning in making the ceremony personal. Other than the eulogy reader, other members of the family and friends too can share one incident or two of their experiences with the person no more. The speech giving ceremony is part of the visitation service of the funeral.
4. Note of remembrance
As a part of the funeral services conducted the family members and close friends of the departed soul should personally thank each and every person for attending the service. The family members with the help of the service coordinator should organize some small token of gifts which they can gift to each and every person attending the service as a note of remembrance of the person who has left for heavenly abode. These notes of remembrance should be personalized gifts and should carry something of the deceased like his or her picture with date or birth and death etc.
