Funeral Cars Offer Tradition in a Changing World
There is nothing wrong with going through with the tradition of having funeral cars follow you to your final resting place. If you and your family enjoy tradition, it’s well and good. However, in a changing world, several funeral homes are trying to keep up with changing needs of mourners and loved ones when it comes to saying goodbye.
The Dumont-Sullivan Funeral Homes in New Hampshire have been making changes to accommodate a changing funeral scene. Five years ago, Leo Dumont III began renovating his two locations to “make people comfortable at an uncomfortable time.”
“There’s not a better feeling in the world,” says Dumont, “thank getting thanked by family members for your assistance in their loved one’s services.” To accomplish this, he has made changes such as making the foyer more open and airy decorated with seasonal décor. The scent of vanilla wafts by as you walk into the foyer for a soothing addition during a bad time. To the left, a spacious room with tables and refreshments let families and friends gather away from the larger crowds. There is also a children’s area in the room so nobody has to hire a babysitter to lend their support to a grieving friend or family member.
These are just a few of the changes going on in funeral homes throughout the nation.
