Traditional Funeral with Burial3

Traditional Funeral with Burial

A sacred and dignified service, often aligned with Greek Orthodox traditions, beginning with a funeral service in the church, followed by a traditional procession to the cemetery—led with care and respect—providing family and friends the opportunity to accompany their loved one on their final journey. A graveside service concludes the day, offering a moment of reflection, prayer, and closure at the place of final rest. We customize every detail, from multilingual readings to cultural rituals, ensuring a meaningful farewell.

Families may choose a one-night visitation at one of our trusted partner chapels the night before the funeral or a brief visitation at the church on the same day as the funeral service.

After the service, a formal vehicle procession to the cemetery takes place—led with care and respect—providing family and friends the opportunity to accompany their loved one on their final journey. A graveside service concludes the day, offering a moment of reflection, prayer, and closure at the place of final rest.
