What is the Understanding of a Funeral Visitation?

Hey People,

I’m attending a funeral soon, and I keep hearing about a “visitation.” What exactly does this mean in the context of a funeral? Is it different from the actual funeral service itself? I want to make sure I understand what to expect and how to respectfully participate. Any insights or explanations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks…

Visitation is when you go to the funeral home the day before the funeral, express your sympathies to the bereaved, sit with them for a bit, and cautiously gaze at the corpse, commenting on how well he looks.

There are typically two events: a visitation and a funeral ceremony. The visitation is a casual gathering held before the funeral in which people offer condolences and share recollections of the deceased. It’s an opportunity to pay your respects in a calm environment. The funeral service is a more formal ritual that commemorates the life of the deceased. It follows a predetermined schedule and programme. Whether you attend the visitation or the service, wearing conservatively and respectfully is always a good idea.
