Adding candle lighting ceremonies in funeral service gives it a peaceful atmosphere. It is actually a simple little touch you can add to help ease the pain of those who are grieving. Just make sure you have plenty of candles and help available for those who need assistance in lighting individual candles.
A candle service is one way to include everyone who wants to be a part of the service for the deceased. This gives them a beautiful opportunity to say goodbye to their friend, spouse, mother, father or child.
When you arrange the funeral service and decide on a type of candle lighting ceremony then the funeral home directors and/or attendants will share their options with you. Some options may include a large single candle representing the life that has gone ahead of us, or multiple tapered candles that may represent milestones of the deceased’s life, for small hand held candles where people can pass the flame from one to another.
Be sure if you’re inviting all to partake, that you make sure each child has an adult to help, there may also be elderly who may need help. So be sure to assign someone to stand near the lighting service in order to assist.
By utilizing a candlelit funeral service is wise to plan where the candles are to be set. If there are to be candelabras make sure they are at a height that is easily accessible for those who are to light them. Sometimes the person who is to light them is too overwhelm so this would be a good place to have one of the funeral attendants available to place the candle in the proper position for the service.
By adding candle lighting ceremonies in funeral service planning it’s a subtle way to help calm the grieving. You just have to ask the funeral director how to work it into the service. They will discuss with you your options and safety awareness. [I:http://resortquestmortgage.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/TomTree6.jpg]
