Funeral homes in Montego Bay
When a family member dies, you will need to contact
relatives and friends right away
in order to get assistance with
the necessary arrangements. This
is a long standing tradition in
Jamaica and probably one of the
times when people will gladly
help in any way. The old people
will be particularly valuable
since they would be more
familiar with dealing with these
issues, as well as provide you
with the names of relatives you
might not know about. One thing
is for sure, you will not have
to worry about finding funeral
homes in Montego Bay, as you
will find two of the popular
directors in Jamaica in this
town.
Even though you might clearly
desire to be on your own instead
of speaking to anyone, agreeing
to get the help from your loved
ones would be the best decision.
Despite the fact that you will
find Delaphena’s and Maddens
Funeral Homes in Montego Bay, it
would be best to compare the
different packages and select
the one suitable for your
budget. You will find additional
directors in this town and with
the number of funerals that they
have to deal with each month, it
might be possible for you to
find a great deal.
However, the directors will not
make the arrangements for the
grave digging and building,
church service and wake, so you
have to get help from family and
friends. Keep in mind that if
you are careful, you will find
yourself spending a lot of money
for food and refreshment to feed
the many people who will come to
offer condolences. So, if you
know that you are on a tight
budget, only provide food on the
day of the funeral as people
normally look for the curry
goat, fry chicken, rice and
peas, soup and other delicious
Jamaican dishes.
A Jamaican wake or “dead yard”
is held the night before the
church service and relatives and
friends will assemble at the
house of the dead person to
offer condolences. Some years
ago, people would share stories,
play games, listen to Mento
music and feast on bread, fish
and coffee. But, this has
changed somewhat these days and
most people have parties with
the reggae and dancehall music
playing from the
loud speakers.
The same can be said for the day
of the funeral, as it is quite
noticeably that the funerals in
Jamaica seem to be a place for
entertainment and partying. It
is now hard to differentiate a
funeral for the young or the old
people nowadays, as it is common
to hear the reggae music at some
funeral processions and
cemeteries.
In conclusion, get assistance
from your friends, relatives,
funeral directors and select the
package which would suit your
budget. Remember that the eating
and drinking at the Jamaican
funerals is one tradition that
is not fading anytime soon, so
ensure that you have the food
ready at the end of the church
service and burial ceremony.
Don’t be surprised to find
people traveling as from as
Kingston to attend the funeral
in Montego Bay, even when they
are not related to the person
who died..
