Organising A Greek Orthodox Funeral

Hello, my name is Steve and this is my blog. The subject of this blog is a very important one. I will be writing about organising a funeral for Greek Orthodox members of your family. Three generations ago, my family moved from Greece to Australia. We have been living in Perth ever since that time and we enjoy a happy life within our small Greek community here. When my grandpa passed away last year, it fell to me to organise his funeral. I was lucky enough to find a great funeral home who helped me to make sure that everything was in place so we could give the old chap the send off he deserved. I hope you like my blog.

Why It's Important for You to Make Early Plans for a Funeral
Most people understand that major life events take a great deal of preparation. They know that they will need several months to prepare for a wedding, for example, as they choose venues, plan the service, send out the invites and book the honeymoon. Other life events can be similarly complex and will attract a fair amount of effort and energy to make sure that they are "just right." However, there is one particular life event that people avoid like the plague and don't want to think about until they absolutely have to.

Funeral Planning: Things to Include in the Order of Service
If you are planning the funeral of a loved one, as well as organising the coffin, the notices in the local newspaper and choosing the venue where the service will take place, you will also need to write an order of service. The order of service is given out to mourners as they enter the memorial service and contains details of everything which will be taking place as well as information about the deceased.
