A committal service is the moment when we say farewell to our loved ones and another step in accepting the finality of the death of someone we hold so dear. For family and friends who could not attend the funeral service, committal services offer an opportunity to pay your respects and it is helpful to your emotional and grieving needs. The length for a committal service can vary depending on your instructions. For some, just being there and placing flower is enough. More importantly, take as long as you need.
