in Santa Clarita Valley

 

At North Valley Funeral Home, we understand that attending a funeral can be a challenging time, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Below are some important DOs and DON’Ts to help make your experience respectful, comforting, and stress-free.

DOs:

Ensure children's safety—Keep an eye on little ones to ensure their safety and the respectfulness of the environment.
Follow cemetery guidelines—Respect the rules and regulations set by the cemetery to ensure a peaceful atmosphere.
Honor visiting hours—Be mindful of the designated times for visitation to allow others the opportunity to pay their respects.
Stay on marked pathways—This helps maintain the grounds and respects the wishes of the cemetery.
Maintain a quiet atmosphere—Respect the need for reflection by keeping noise levels low and allowing others space to grieve.

DON’Ts:

Feel pressured to stay longer than you're comfortable with—Take the time you need. Your presence alone is meaningful, and there's no need to stay longer than feels right to you.
Hesitate to share happy memories or laughter—Reminiscing about your loved one with positivity can help bring comfort and healing to everyone.
