Graveside Services

How one chooses to commemorate a loved one is a personal decision. The type of service chosen varies with each family, but one thing is constant: a service provides a focal point for remembering the deceased at the time of death and provides emotional value into the future.

For many different reasons, a family may choose a Graveside Service, rather than the more formal Visitation or Funeral Service inside a Chapel or Church. A Graveside Service can be anything from a small, casual gathering of family and close friends, to a larger grouping with no formal schedule of events. This type of service is usually a brief and simplified service with less details involved.

With a graveside service there is no church or chapel service, however, families can arrange a visitation time the night before as in a traditional service. The tents, chairs, casket, flowers and other equipment are set up prior to the arrival of friends and family.

Personal mementos, photographs or video, special music, poetry or readings, and floral arrangements may be used in the graveside service to spark memories of the one who has died. WYUKA can help a family arrange a special details to personalize or enhance an outside service such as a dove or balloon release to music. Many consider graveside services as a open service without walls and ceilings. Families may choose to include an open or closed casket or urn in the graveside gathering. WYUKA funeral directors provide guidance, suggestions and assistance in customizing a graveside ceremony to meet your individual needs.
