During a Service.

Keep devices off or on silent. Avoid texting or taking photos. Try to focus on being present and respectful.

Follow the lead of others. Watch for cues from the family or officiant. Stand, sit, or participate when appropriate, even if you're unfamiliar with the customs.

Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes before the service begins. It shows respect and avoids disrupting the ceremony.
