A funeral is an expression of how one lived his life and it must be planned accordingly. There is a standard pattern which most funeral services adhere to, and any change would usually depend on particular religious and cultural preferences of the departed and his or her family members.
The first stage is the visitation, which can take place over a few hours or could stretch for a few days. Here, the friends and family gather to revive memories of their loved one. Then begin the standard funeral proceedings, which can take place in a chapel, a mortuary, a church or any other place that can serve as a proper memorial for the deceased person. A hearse or funeral coach will have to be arranged if the funeral is to be held in an outdoor venue.
After this service, the family and friends go to attend the graveyard proceedings at the selected cemetery. This can be managed by a clergyman or any close relative of the deceased, based on the family's choice. You also have to take care of various other things like the kind of flowers you would require for the service, if you want to display an image of the dead person and who will be the person leading the service.
The last part of the proceedings is the burial, and the site for it can be any spot as per the preference of the family or of the dead person. The dead person can be buried in family plots or in mausoleums, or be cremated after which their ashes can be spread where they had desired.
