There are a lot of reasons to hold a funeral. And there are a lot of reasons to make sure it is the right kind of funeral. But one of the most important things to consider throughout the planning process is family itself—the people who will be attending that funeral. If you or someone you know is looking for funeral homes in or near Indianapolis, IN, you should know that there is one in your area that takes family very seriously. Your family deserves the very best when it comes to a funeral, and you have every right to expect a funeral home that goes above and beyond on their behalf. This isn’t just another business. This is a difficult time, and an important time, too. 

O’Riley - Branson Funeral Service & Crematory is committed to doing the right thing for your family. Every client is different. Every family is different. And that’s why we think it is so important that we actually get to know you. Sometimes that takes time. Sometimes that takes a little effort. But it is an important part of the process, and it allows us to do a much better job when it comes to meeting your needs. You aren’t some kind of statistic, and we understand that. You have a background, a history, and a story to tell. You have unique preferences and personalities. Those kind of things really add up when it comes time to plan a funeral. 

There is a lot going on at the average funeral. Yes, it is about remembering someone dear to you. Yes, it is about paying respects in a dignified fashion. And yes, it is certainly about celebrating a life and honoring achievements. All of those things really do matter. 

But funerals are also an extremely valuable opportunity to continue the healing process. They don’t take the pain away entirely. That can take a lot of time, and it may require a great deal of help, too. But funerals are part of that healing process. They provide some additional closure and a shared sense of mourning. When it comes to the family grieving, imagine life without a funeral. Things would be more difficult. Something would seem like it was missing. Put simply, most people really do need a chance to say goodbye and think things through. Most people also do this best when others are involved. That’s why funerals are so important to most families—and to the concept of family itself. 

So making sure that a funeral meets a family’s needs is a serious responsibility, and it is one that we do not take lightly. Whether it is the location of a funeral or the music that might be played there, every little detail matters. They all contribute to a certain kind of experience, and it is crucial for that experience to make grieving and healing a little bit easier. Building a relationship with us can help us get all of those details right. After all, it shouldn’t be a matter of guesswork. We should know more about your family, your needs, and what you expect in a funeral. Then we can really do our jobs more effectively.
