What makes a funeral service beautiful and why it matters

What makes a funeral service beautiful and why it matters

Is it okay to describe a funeral as ‘beautiful’? Many people hesitate, believing they can’t, since funerals are traditionally seen as solely sad events. However, funerals can be both a time of mourning and a meaningful, ‘beautiful’ celebration of life. 

Why would someone describe a funeral as beautiful? 

What do people really mean when they say a funeral is beautiful? In many cases, it has nothing to do with happiness, it could mean it was a dignified, heartfelt tribute to a life. A beautiful funeral may feel personal, unique, respectful and of course comforting to family and friends. 

Do you know what makes a funeral beautiful? 

There are a few things that can make a funeral service beautiful. Some qualities include: 

  • Personal touches like music, readings, stories, photos or keepsakes.
  • The setting, whether it’s inside a chapel or an outdoor funeral service.
  • The tone, respectful, compassionate and inclusive. 
  • Support, how the funeral directors and staff guide the family and make it special.

Is it okay to say this to people? 

Of course, it’s okay to show your appreciation and let families know the funeral service is beautiful. In fact, many people take comfort in this. Always keep it respectful and try to avoid cliches.
