            There are four types of services: Funeral, Memorial, Committal and the Wake. There are, also, two styles for each service: Traditional and Personalized.

A Funeral is a service held usually within a few days of death.
A Memorial is a service held at a day and time chosen to meet the family’s needs.
A Committal is a service held at the grave side.
A Wake can be either standing watch over the deceased or holding a celebration of the life of the deceased.

Traditional Service

            Traditional Services generally follow the liturgy of a particular religion or denomination. However, in times of grief and when decisions are deferred to a funeral home or place of worship, a more standardized and less personal approach is often the result.

Traditional Services typically have three elements:
Scripture
Hymns
Message
These are generally delivered by a funeral director or clergy.
