As part of our Greek funerals Melbourne service, an orthodox priest leads grievers through a prayers, readings and hymns. The Greek funerals Melbourne service can be customized by choosing particular sections which can be read by near and dear ones. While this may differ from family to family, it is normal in Greek funerals Melbourne for there to be an open coffin service where mourners might be allowed to bow before the casket or kiss a cross put on the chest of the deceased.

Our Greek funerals Melbourne directors are familiar with all the conventions of Greek funerals Melbourne. A standard Greek Orthodox burial service incorporates:
