Funerals are for the living
“When words are inadequate, have a ritual.” — Author Unknown
Every person has a story that deserves to be told, shared and remembered. Does your family know your story? Having a meaningful funeral gives everyone the chance to remember the person who has died, it is an opportunity to share their unique memories, and to receive support and comfort from others.
Have you ever attended a funeral ceremony that made you feel as if you knew the person more than you did before the service? The funeral and all the details were specifically designed to reflect the life of the loved one and allowed you to see into who they were and what they valued most – it was an opportunity to hear their story.
The funeral can take many forms, there is no right or wrong way to do it. There could be music and poems/prayers, tears and laughter. At its conclusion, there is a general feeling that it was a fitting send-off.
This is a meaningful funeral.
At Avenal Park Funeral Home the staff can assist you in ensuring you/your loved one has a meaningful funeral and their story is able to be told as they would have wanted it. This can be from designing a personalised casket, to producing a unique service sheet and photo slideshow, through to having elements at the funeral that reflect the person’s life.
We are located at 75 Fox Street, Invercargill. Phone 03 218 9021 or we can come and visit you in your own home. We encourage you to take the time to talk and share your story with your loved ones.
