Orthodox Funerals and understanding the traditions.
Orthodox funerals are deeply rooted in tradition and serve as a way to honour the deceased and offer comfort to the bereaved
The Orthodox Church is one of the oldest Christian denominations and has a rich history that is reflected in its funeral traditions.
In an Orthodox funeral, the deceased is traditionally laid out in an open casket, and mourners pay their respects by offering prayers and kissing the deceased’s hand. The funeral service itself is led by a priest and involves the singing of hymns and the reading of scripture.
At Premier Funerals, we understand the importance of adhering to the traditions of Orthodox funerals. Our experienced funeral directors have a deep understanding of Orthodox funeral traditions and can guide you every step of the way to ensure that the funeral service is respectful and meaningful.
