Funeral to a Wedding, Wedding to a Funeral
I have an interesting story to share. I was speaking to a prospective bride recently about performing her wedding at the Community Life Center at Washington Park East Cemetery. I came to learn from her that our Flanner and Buchanan Funeral Center at Washington Park East happened to host the funeral for her father. That event helped motivate her to attend our bridal show this past February, where we met at my Celebrant wedding booth.
The upshot here is that she decided to have her wedding with us and I will be conducting it as celebrant.
Her experience of coming to Washington Park East for her father’s funeral, seeing the facility and meeting our people, showed her the complete value of what we have to offer. It is rewarding to see our customers go full circle from funeral to wedding and wedding to funeral. Of course we believe it is only natural.
Michael Neff is a funeral director for Flanner and Buchanan Funeral Centers. He is also a trained celebrant, officiating at both weddings and funerals.
