    Nowadays, cremation services are starting to take precedence over traditional burials. Some Americans even state their preference in their will, rather than leaving it open-ended for the family to decide.

    If you’re thinking about how you’d like to be laid to rest, you may be wondering about the types of funerals there are to choose from.

    Believe it or not, there are several types of funeral options to choose from. Knowing your options can make planning a funeral much easier.

    Read on to learn more about the most common types of funerals that Americans gravitate towards.

    Traditional Funerals

    When we think about a traditional funeral service, we may picture it in a church, a funeral home, or even in someone’s private residence. This ceremony is often somber and allows attendees to pay their respects to the deceased. Some, however, see a funeral as a happier occasion and a celebration of life.

    In a traditional funeral, the body of the deceased is present. It ends with a burial, which may be private or open to funeral attendees. A traditional funeral occurs within days of the deceased’s passing.

    Memorial Services

    Memorial services are great options for individuals who prefer cremation or aquamation over a burial. It is also a good option when burial occurs before your family arranges a ceremony.

    A memorial service can be held anywhere from a church to a home to a public park. Like a funeral, it is a remembrance or celebration of life. Unlike a funeral, the body of the deceased is not present.

    Committals (aka Graveside Funerals)

    Committals (aka graveside funerals) are usually short ceremonies and oftentimes, a religious figure leads them. At a committal, attendees gather at the gravesite of the deceased and remain present for the burial. A prayer is often said as the deceased is laid to rest. 

    Committals may be accompanied by a reception or they may be short and self-contained.

    Viewings

    A viewing often occurs in conjunction with a traditional funeral, but it is worth mentioning separately. A funeral doesn’t always involve viewing the deceased’s body. If it does, then you may hear it referred to as a viewing, rather than as a funeral.

    Viewings tend to cost more than other options. This is because the body will require embalming and preparation. Some funeral homes offer these services, but not all do, so you may need to be more selective about the services you choose.

    Which Types of Funerals Do You Prefer?

    If you are putting together a will or final testament, it is worth considering the types of funerals your family can choose from. This gives you more control over how you are laid to rest. It can also alleviate some of the pressure your family feels after losing a loved one.

    Wondering what you can do in the present to get the most out of life? Take a look around for inspiration, exciting entertainment, and news stories.
