We truly believe in the importance of a viewing. Being able to say one last goodbye to your loved one, surrounded by family/friends and sharing stories about their life is very important in the grieving process.

Viewings have long offered families an important opportunity to confront the reality of a loss in a supportive environment. While some families choose memorial services held later, many find that a viewing provides a needed moment of connection and clarity soon after a death occurs.

One of the most significant reasons families choose a viewing is that seeing the body helps us accept that a loved one has truly died. Even though it can be difficult, this moment often reduces feelings of shock, unreality, or denial. Grief experts William Worden and Bill Hoy note that viewing the body can be an essential part of healthy grieving—offering space for a final goodbye and the beginning of emotional adjustment.

Viewings can be especially meaningful after long illness or traumatic death. With embalming or restorative work, funeral professionals can provide a peaceful and comforting final image—helping replace painful memories or imagined fears with a gentle, dignified “last memory picture.”

Families have many options and funeral directors are trusted allies in guiding families through these decisions.

Not every family needs or wants a viewing—but for many, it offers a moment of truth, connection, and support. It may also provide comfort for loved ones traveling from afar or those who haven’t seen the deceased recently. And, perhaps most importantly, it can reflect the wishes of the person who has died.
