Attending a Service

If you have any questions on the appropriateness of your attendance, call Krause Funeral Homes. Our staff is available to help however we can.

A Well-Mannered and Supportive Guest

Funerals often include more than one gathering: a viewing or visitation, memorial service, burial and reception. Attend all or one depending on your relationship with the family of the deceased.

For times, dates and directions, view our online obituaries page

Below is additional information to consider when attending a funeral:

• Sign the register book at the visitation or funeral. Be sure to write legibly and include your affiliation, if appropriate.
• The first several rows are typically reserved for immediate family, so be sure to sit in an appropriate seat at the funeral.
• Greet the family members at either your arrival or departure. Offer a hug or shake of hands, depending on your relationship. Your support is soothing during this difficult time.
• Adhere to parking protocol when attending the funeral. If the graveside service follows the funeral, our staff will help guide cars into a line and add a funeral procession flag to your car. Please keep your lights on during the processional.
