Three Elements Needed for a Healing Funeral


At Heideman Hughes Mortuary we believe all funerals should have three essential elements that help families move through the healing process:

First, to provide a tribute to the life lived, we believe that all funerals should have a ceremony with religious or spiritual overtones.

Second, we believe there should be some form of public gathering so your family can receive the support of the community.

And Third, to mark a point of closure for the families, we believe there should be some form of a procession to the final resting place.

And finally, a healing funeral has to balance what you want for your service with what your family needs during their time of grief.
