Planning a funeral is something no one wants to do, but most will eventually experience at some point in their life. The goal of each planner is to create a memorable event that gives their loved one the respect they deserve. What people may not realize is that the family is not limited to holding the funeral at the funeral home. Some prefer this option, but others may find more comfort in choosing a different location. The ceremony could be held at home, at the church where the individual was a member or some other place that was special to the person when they were alive.
It may seem odd to many to have this type of ceremony in a private home or at a park or beach, but for many centuries this was the common practice. Funeral homes only became commonplace during the civil war when many soldiers were killed far from home. Even into the mid-twentieth century families in many rural areas around the United States still held their services at home. The resurgence in popularity of this type of event is due to a desire to have something more personal for their loved one. Being in their favorite home or other setting helps to bring the personality of the individual to the event. For those who are grieving, the quiet and familiar surroundings are often more comforting.
