Gathering After the Service

The post-funeral gathering. More often than not, we gather our family and

friends following a funeral as a final element in public mourning rites. Often

including a meal or refreshment, this practice is common across the globe and continues to

serve a number of purposes.

It provides an opportunity to provide a meal or refreshment to those who have taken the time

to come and show their support to your family and it can create an

opportunity for a reunion for family members we seldom see.

A gathering with food, family and friends is a more familiar setting to the

bereaved than a funeral ceremony so this particular gathering serves as a

transition from this day of commemoration to everyday life. Finally the

post-funeral gathering is one more way to show respect and celebrate

the life of the deceased.

Musselman Funeral Home & Cremation Services is easily accessible to the

facility best suited for this purpose, The Bricker House.

The Bricker House, is a gathering place for all occasions.

It is located directly across the street from Musselman funeral Home & Cremation services

at 325 Hummel Avenue, Lemoyne.
