From the moment you pay a visit to Eutawville, SC funeral homes, we want you to feel welcomed and supported as you plan a goodbye to your loved one. The strength of a great funeral home is in the people who bring compassion and kindness to burials and memorial services. In this article, we’ll look at the five most important people involved in every funeral, both those at Avinger Funeral Home and those you introduce to us.

The Funeral Director

The funeral director is the heart and soul of every funeral home, both the organizer who coordinates the service and the main face of the business. A great funeral director will be the first person the family meets at their consultation, and they need to make a good first impression. With an exhaustive knowledge of the business and a compassionate approach, they should be the one guiding and comforting the family through the planning process.

The Decorating Team

If you’re planning a full memorial service with us, you’ll have the opportunity to customize our memorial halls to reflect your loved one’s personality and the memories you have. Our decorating team is standing by to help you bring those ideas to life. Not only will our decorating team ensure the hall and all needed rooms are spotless and attractive, but they’ll add any flourishes you want to see to add a personal touch.

The Officiant

The officiant is the master of ceremonies at a memorial service, introducing the story of the departed and leading into other speakers or events. The most common officiant is a religious leader close to the family, and we’ll meet with your choice and plan with them. We also know several nearby religious leaders we can introduce to your family, and it’s common for family members or close friends to take on the role instead.

The Digital Director

It’s often impossible to get everyone close to the deceased in one room for the funeral, so new advances have made it possible to share the event around the world. Our digital director will meet with you to create a plan for virtual support. Do you want to livestream the service on the internet? Do you want a virtual guestbook? Are you looking to run an online fundraiser for a charity? This is all possible with our online portal and website.

The Design Team

Many of our families want printed mementoes of the service to go out to the guests, including programs featuring pictures of their loved one. If you want to design hard copies for your guests or for you to take home, or to have large printed posters in the memorial room, it’s possible with the help of our design team. These specialists work closely with our decorators and our digital team to bring your vision to life.

You’ll meet these members of our team and more when you arrange a service with Eutawville, SC funeral homes. Contact Avinger Funeral Home to get started today.
