Enter quietly and be seated. Do not try to talk with bereaved family members if you arrive early. The first few rows are reserved for family members. At the conclusion of the service, you will want to leave promptly and wait in your car if you plan to follow the procession to the cemetery.

Attending the graveside service is optional and is usually determined by the relationship between the individual and the bereaved family. ;9.
