Greek Funerals Melbourne
Agape Funerals specialises in Greek funerals Melbourne for those of Greek Orthodox faith.
According to the Greek Orthodox Church, the soul departs the body after death and is the beginning of a new life. 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:
Wake:
It is standard for individuals from the Greek Orthodox Church to hold a wake the night prior to the burial service. Our Greek funerals Melbourne welcome friends and family to talk about the deceased and a priest may arrange the Trisagion (Thrice-Holy) administration.
Funeral service:
The memorial service, to happen at a funeral home or Greek Orthodox Church will incorporate songs, prayers, and readings from the book of scriptures. The cleric will offer a sermon and talk about the departed. At the funeral service, visitors can console the family with the expression, “Memory Eternal” or offer sympathies.
Burial:
A brief graveside service is generally held with the Trisagion Service performed once more. Hymns may be sung followed by blessings by the minister.
