Canadian Burials
Although in some states of Canada cremation is on the rise many people still preferred to be buried. Although there are additional expenses to being buried, as opposed to cremated, the majority of people still choose a traditional burial.
It could be because burials are traditional within the family or you may have private family plots in which to be buried. You may not like the thought of being ‘burned’ and would prefer your body being returned to the elements. For whatever reason you choose to be buried ensuresure you make arrangements for after your death so you can receive the funeral you desire.
You will need to organise a casket or burial box and purchase either a mausoleum space or cemetery plot. A head stone or grave marker will also need to be purchased and you will need to pay an annual fee for the care of the gravesite.
It’s important to organise such matters to take the strain off immediate family and friends when you die. Death is an emotional time for all of us, so organising your own burial will relieve your loved ones of any unnecessary stress.
In Canada a funeral is typically divided into three stages.
At the ‘visitation’ ceremony the embalmed body of the deceased is placed in an open casket or coffin so family and friends can pay their last respects. This generally takes place one or two days before the funeral.
After the ‘visitation’ ceremony the ‘funeral’ is held in either a church or funeral home. This includes the reading of poems, prayers and speeches by close family and friends. The singing of hymns and a word of comfort from the clergy will also be heard. Finally the coffin or casket is closed for the final time.
The final ‘burial service’ is conducted at the graveside and pallbearers or family are able to carry the casket to the grave.
