Christian Funeral Service: What Makes It Different From Other Funeral Services?

Trusting in the second coming of Jesus Christ is natural to members of Christian community in Singapore and those in different parts of the world. Also natural to Christians is the trust that at the time of their death they will be judged based on their actions while they were still living. As much as possible, they put Christ's teachings to action since they consider it as their ultimate guide to living a good life. This is why it is expected that Christian funeral Singapore services are held in accordance with Christ's teachings.

For a devoted follower of Christ, a Christian funeral is a celebration of the soul of the deceased as it journeys to eternal life. That's why unlike other funeral or memorial services, Christian ways are more interactive. They pay respect to the deceased by gathering and through sharing of stories and pictures, as well as by arranging a special program before they finally say goodbye to the departed loved one. Christians also believe that death is not the end of life, rather a fresh start to a better life where the deceased won't feel any pain or sufferings. The family of the departed finds comfort in the knowledge that their loved one is now in the comfort of the Lord's eternal love.

Families can choose to hold the funeral service at the church where the deceased used to attend fellowship programs and request that the church minister officiate the ceremony. Before there was no need for caskets, but people's desire for more attractive and personalized designs encouraged funeral companies to cater to this particular market.

The funeral service is the time when people pay respect to the life of the departed. It usually begins with religious hymns and Holy Scripture recitals. After which, the minister will share something about the deceased. The funeral service concludes with a mass prayer by everyone attending the event. When the mass ends, the attendees whether Christians or not participate in sharing their personal feelings about how the deceased was able to touch their lives.

Families may also opt for a short fellowship reception where foods and refreshments are served to those who attended the funeral service. Singapore funeral services providers now include this in the services they offer.
