Civil funeral

Civil funeral

 Civil funeral is called a ceremony that takes place before the burial or the cremation of the body, but in many foreign countries it is quite common for civil funerals to be held after the cremation while displaying the urn.

  • The funeral usually takes place in a ceremony hall or outdoors and no religious practices are included.
  • The attendants say their farewell with eulogies, favourite songs or photos of lovely memories and express their condolences to the family members of the deceased.
  • Subsequently follows the burial at the cemetery or the cremation, and in some cases a funeral reception.
  • A civil funeral is not very different than a religious funeral in regards to the procedure.

Our Funeral Home organizes civil funerals in a professional way and with the utmost respect to the deceased and his family. Our facilities, which are located alongside the City Cemetery of Rethymno in Tria Monastiria, include a private ceremony hall where civil funerals can be held. We also offer the possibility of multimedia playback and livestreaming for those who cannot attend the funeral. And finally, we provide catering services for funeral receptions after the burial or the cremation.
