There are no two people that are exactly alike and therefore no two funerals should be exactly the same. As a general rule, planning most funerals at a funeral home takes approximately two to three hours.

Funerals can vary based on religion, tradition and beliefs. Some funerals take place over a couple of hours, others last a few days. Each religion has their own set of rules for services, burials and gatherings. Remember, that the family appreciates your attendance and will understand if you cannot stay for the funeral in its entirety. Use your best discretion. Be respectful and considerate if you must leave prior to the ending of the funeral service. See similar questions...
