Most families walk in thinking there’s only one way to do a service. Traditional. Expected. Formal.
But the truth is—you have more choices than you think.

There’s no single “right” way to say goodbye. The most important thing is that it feels authentic, heartfelt, and reflective of who they were.

Every choice tells a story. Every story matters. 🤍

In New Orleans, a traditional jazz funeral begins with a solemn procession where a brass band plays slow hymns or dirges as mourners accompany the deceased to the cemetery. After the burial, the mood shifts — the band launches into lively jazz, and the crowd joins in a “second line” procession of dancing and celebration, honoring the life that was lived. The tradition reflects a uniquely New Orleans way of holding both grief and joy at the same time.

The funeral for Leah Chase, a chef and civil rights icon, showcased a street culture that continues to flourish in the city she helped revive.

These colorful coffins might be shaped like fish for fishermen, airplanes for pilots, or even everyday objects that held meaning in someone’s life. The tradition turns the coffin into a final storytelling piece — a way for families to celebrate identity, personality, and the life that was lived.
