Farewell ceremony — coordination of date and time in a chapel or farewell hall

The funeral process involves many carefully considered steps that can feel overwhelming and emotionally challenging during a time of grief. One of the most important stages is coordinating the date, time, and location of the farewell ceremony — whether in a chapel, farewell hall, or another chosen venue.

Our funeral home’s team at Angel AB takes full responsibility for managing this coordination. We organize everything necessary — from reserving the venue and arranging for a priest or speaker, to preparing all required documents for burial, cremation, or repatriation.

Why is this step so important?

The date and place of the ceremony serve as the foundation for all subsequent organizational steps in the funeral process. This influences the preparation of funeral items, floral arrangements, music selection, and the availability of clergy or ceremony leaders. Precise coordination ensures each element of the farewell ceremony is handled with respect and attention to detail.

How does the process work?

If you need help organizing a funeral or cremation, contact us at any time of day or night. We will schedule a meeting at the branch most convenient for you.

During the meeting:

• the date, time, and venue of the farewell ceremony will be confirmed;
• necessary items will be selected (coffin, urn, cross, etc.);
• a priest or speaker will be arranged;
• all required documents and permits will be prepared.

After this stage, the only thing required from you is to visit the cemetery where the burial will take place and sign the agreement for the use of the grave — whether in a family plot or a new burial site.

The ceremony’s time, place, and tone set the foundation for a respectful and memorable farewell. Our team is always available to ensure a smooth and dignified process.
