Who walks in first at a funeral?
The officiant leads the processional and is followed by pallbearers who carry the coffin. Next to walk down the aisle are the family and kin to the deceased followed by close friends who will take their seats in the first few rows, marking the start of the ceremony. A recessional marks the end of the funeral service.
Is it disrespectful to walk on graves?
Touching monuments or headstones is extremely disrespectful and in some cases, may cause damage. For example, some older memorials might be in disrepair and could fall apart under the slightest touch. Be sure to walk in between the headstones, and don’t stand on top of a burial place. Be respectful of other mourners.
Who sits in the front row at a funeral?
Funeral Seating Guidelines The front rows are reserved for close relatives. If you are a member of the immediate family and there are step-parents or step-siblings, you must take into account where everyone will sit. It’s easy to unknowingly slight someone because he or she was cast aside.
