Jamaican Funeral Homes
A Jamaican funeral service is kept for people who are residents that have passed on. Friends, family members and loved ones gather together to pay their final respects while grieving the loss of a loved one. Funeral homes in Jamaica are not that many, but they provide a very fundamental service and play an instrumental role in the entire proceedings. From the point of death most funeral homes can conduct every aspect of the process right up to burial.
GetJamaica.Com examines a list of services most funeral homes in Jamaica offer. Primarily being able to obtain a death certificate in Jamaica is needed prior to funeral arrangement. Though if the deceased loved one was deemed infirmed and sickly based on the last physicians visit, then the medical practitioner will issue a medical certificate to the Registrar Generals Department and hence registering the death. Based on this fact you will obtain the original death certificate. This is a pink slip of paper and affixed is the Registrar Generals Department seal.
However if your loved one (deceased) was murdered or met an untimely death accidentally, then the Jamaican government requires that a post mortem examination carried out by the coroner’s office be done to ascertain the cause of death. The subsequent death of your loved one would then be reported to the nearest police station to obtain an order for a burial. This document is given to you by the local police department subsequent to the post mortem.
To begin planning your Jamaican funeral you must first have both the death certificate from the Registrar Generals Department and the Burial Order issued by the Police department.
Other services that funeral homes in Jamaica offer include:
Choosing a funeral service location (church to be used)
Choosing your loved ones final resting place
Choosing the burial casket
Help to obtain cremation and how to handle cremated remains
Create programs for the memorial service
Death announcements in newspapers, radio and television
Preparing floral arrangements
Provision of the hearse
Arranging transport for funeral processions
Provide both musicians and singers
Offer exhumation services
Using restorative skills if disfigurement occurs
The ability to embalm the deceased
Provide counseling and stress management help
Provision of both sea and air burial rituals
Keepsakes over the last few years have become very popular at Jamaican funerals as they are used in memory of the your loved one; these include, book markers, thanks cards, buttons and even prayer cards.
Finally the funeral home in Jamaica will assist in locating a suitable venue for and after church service family and friends gathering and even catering for meals.
