No matter if a death is sudden, or if it something that was a long time coming, the loss of a loved one makes us feel emotional and overwhelmed. No amount of preparation can fully prepare you for the loss of a loved one. When you are in a heightened emotional state, even the most basic decisions can seem staggering.
Traditionally, a burial service involves a visitation, followed by a funeral service in a church, or other place of worship. The casket is typically present at both these events, and it is your decision on whether to have the casket open or not. You have the option of having the remains interred (earth burial), or it may be entombed in a crypt inside a mausoleum (above ground burial).
Giving a meaningful, moving eulogy can be a nerve-wracking situation for even the most accomplished public speaker, but it need not be. How can you summarize somebody's life in a few short minutes, while being both somber and funny at the same time? Writing and delivering a eulogy is a therapeutic tool to help deal with your grief, and being chosen to give a eulogy is an honor and should be treated that way.
Like everything in society, funeral etiquette and what is expected of you has evolved over time. As always common sense and good discretion is the best guide to proper funeral etiquette. Here are a few do's and dont's of funeral etiquette. Express your condolences - It's not easy to come up with the words to offer sympathy to someone who has just lost a loved one.

Based on word-of-mouth reviews and personal observations, our family hired Luann Jones and Covenant Funeral Services (CFS) to provide professional services for our matriarch, who was funeralized on November 12, 2021. Our experience of their work is noted below:

1. CFS made our mother look fabulous after a terrible season of illness. The hair and make-up were perfect, and she looked as she would have in her best days. Very well done.
2. They showed up on time and conducted themselves professionally throughout the day.
3. The flowers on the casket were fresh, bright, and gorgeous.

Burying any family member is hard, much less burying your partner. In a time where black owned anything is far and few without travelling far distances finding a local black owned funeral home was not only relieving, but assuring that my Love would be in the greatest of hands and in great hands he was. I appreciate so much, the time, the effort, the quality and the compassion that went into his final preparations. He was sent off exactly how he would have wanted to be. Forever grateful.

Covenant Funeral Home, does not care about the dead or the love ones of the dead. Calls, emails, voice-mails goes unanswered. This place made it difficult to plan a proper funeral service to honor someone whom I love. Her sudden passing was already enough to stress family and friends but Covenant Funeral Home made it even worse.
It's evident that the deceased means nothing to them, and it's just about money. The way this place is operating is, unacceptable.

BE CAREFUL during this time of grieving. If you are looking for professionalism, transparency, compassion, empathy, and even respect for you and your family, you will NOT find that at Covenant Funeral Home. Instead what you will experience is absence and confusion due to the lack of timely communication from Luann Jones.
My mother passed away back in April 2021. At no point did I receive any updates regarding my mother. I tried many attempts to connect and go over all the details with somebody, but I would be told that Luann was out of the office. “Out of the office” is a phrase you will hear

After watching what my friend went through dealing with Covenant Funeral Home, I would advise no one to go here. I wouldn't even let my worst enemy go here. I wished I could give this place zero star. First off, the owner (Luanne) lacks compassion, respect for the dead and their loves ones, empathy and she's very insensitive. She has truly robbed my friend the opportunity to properly mourn the loss of his mom. My friend lost his mom in April and due to Luanne's "management skills" he was only able to retrieve his mom's ashes in September. She has yet to sincerely apologize to him. She refused to

It pains me to say this, but I would think twice before recommending this funeral home. My family wanted to support this funeral home especially being that it is black owned, but was not impressed. Thank God things turned out as well as they did, because we were nervous seeing that there was very little communication throughout the planning process. Luanne was not in the country at the time of planning and not sure why we were not given another entrusted person with the company that we could work with and meet with in her absence. We did not see a pic of casket until the day before the funeral

My dear friend informed me of the great difficulty he encountered with Covenant House when he tried to organize final arrangements for his mother this past April 2021. Let's be honest, dealing with loss is extremely difficult and tragic as is. The support from the funeral home employees and director should make the process easier by providing all the necessary information so the decreased can be laid to rest peacefully and the family find comfort in one another.
My friend being the ONLY child of his mother and being the sole communicator in this situation was NOT privilege to details from the
