Healing Power of a Funeral or Memorial

Is it necessary to plan a funeral or memorial? Some families choose to forego the formal event because they don’t want to go through the stress of planning and the preparation. But, you need to remember that the funeral is more than a time to say goodbye. Having a location where friends and family can gather is a necessary step in the healing process.

 

Coping with a loss is a challenging experience, which is why you need to consider how these services will support those in attendance. This supportive environment can be created in our funeral home. Or, you can find closure by holding an informal event in another location if desired.

Funeral and Cremation FAQs

What is a celebration of life, and how does it differ from a traditional funeral?

  • A celebration of life is a personalized event that honors a deceased individual's unique personality and achievements, focusing on joyful memories and the positive impact they had on others. Unlike traditional funerals, which often follow formal, somber protocols, these celebrations offer flexibility in format and content, allowing for storytelling, music, and activities that reflect the individual's passions. This approach fosters an uplifting atmosphere, encouraging attendees to share stories and laughter, thereby creating a meaningful tribute. At Paul Ippolito Memorial, we specialize in crafting such personalized services, incorporating elements like favorite music, hobbies, and significant memorabilia to authentically commemorate your loved one's life.

 

What benefits and services are available for veterans at their funerals?

  • Veterans are entitled to comprehensive funeral benefits, including burial in a national cemetery, a government-provided headstone or marker, and military funeral honors such as the playing of Taps and the folding and presentation of the American flag. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers a burial allowance to assist with funeral and transportation expenses, with amounts varying based on whether the death was service-connected. Eligibility criteria include a discharge under conditions other than dishonorable and, in certain cases, death resulting from a service-related disability or while receiving VA care. At Paul Ippolito Memorial, we are dedicated to guiding families through the process of securing these honors, ensuring that each veteran receives the recognition and respect they have earned.

 

What is a pre-cremation viewing, and how does it differ from a traditional visitation?

  • A pre-cremation viewing allows family and friends to see the deceased and say their final goodbyes before the cremation process begins, providing a sense of closure. This gathering typically occurs at the funeral home or crematory and can be expected to be more informal, focusing on personal farewells. In contrast, a traditional visitation serves as a time for mourners to offer condolences to the family and share memories, with the body either present in an open or closed casket, or not present at all. These visitations usually take place in the days leading up to a funeral service that often culminates in burial.
