Do Women Serve As Pall Bearers At A Funeral?

15 Jun, 2022
Traditionally, men serve as pallbearers during funerals. However, funeral pallbearers might include both men and women. If everyone in the family agrees, then it's possible for anyone to go ahead and volunteer. Although pallbearers tend to be men, there is no religious or cultural reason for it really.Men typically have the greater physical strength and are better able to carry the casket, which can be heavy. According to the materials used to create the casket, it (along with the deceased’s remains) can weigh up to 300 pounds. Women may not be able to bring the casket to their shoulders in some situations because of the physical demands of the task.If some can do so, women can serve as pallbearers, and there is no reason why they should not. At Affordable Funeral & Cremation, we have seen women taking up this duty at some funerals.Who Can Act As Pallbearers?Pallbearers aren't usually members of the deceased's family; instead, they're friends, coworkers, members of the same church, or other acquaintances. However, nowadays, pallbearers might also include members of the deceased's relatives. In accordance with tradition, a casket must have six handles and six pallbearers.Women in this position should not be overly sentimental since this could impair their ability to handle the situation. Naturally, they must be able to bear the weight of the casket. As an honorary pallbearer, you can help carry the casket if you aren't physically able to do so. This means that you can walk either in front of or behind the casket.If you want to know about our services, don't hesitate to contact us at Affordable Funeral & Cremation today.

Can I Have A Cremation And A Visitation?

24 May, 2022
Visitation is the opportunity for people to say last farewells to the deceased while finding peace. The grieving family and friends do not want to miss the last chance to view the deceased. Many individuals feel that cremation eliminates the possibility of funeral rituals and visitations, which makes them hesitant to opt for it. At Affordable Funeral & Cremation, our mission is to dispel this myth. A visitation is conceivable, and the following information can help you prepare:1. Embalming Is PossibleBefore cremation, families can choose to embalm the body to halt decay for a couple of days. If you need to postpone the visiting service for several days to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to pay their respects to the decedent, simply inform the funeral home director so that they will take care of the rest.2. Private VisitationA personal visitation with a few close family members is simple to arrange. No embalming is necessary because the visitation can take place within several hours of death. Funeral houses can make such preparations quickly, eliminating the need to forgo a brief visit.3. It Is Not Always About Seeing The BodyThere is no requirement that a body is present during the visitation. Cremation turns the body into ashes, which can be preserved in urns indefinitely. You can schedule a memorial ceremony a few days later to allow everyone the opportunity to pay their final respects to the departed.There are various possible solutions. All that is required is to discuss your requirements with the funeral director, and he will provide you with all the necessary information regarding your situation. If you want to know about our services, don't hesitate to contact us at Affordable Funeral & Cremation today. Our team is here to provide you with the information you need.
