The transportation of the deceased
The transportation of the deceased is very important part of the funeral ceremony, because it is literally the last trip leaving the material world.
The issue of the transportation of the deceased primarily arises in the case of burials in coffin. It can be the part of the funeral ceremony, in which case it makes it possible for the nearest relatives to be with the loved ones on the last journey.
Another form of the transportation of the deceased is when the departed relative is far from the place of the burial, e.g. stayed abroad at the last moment of his life, or at home, but it is far from the place where according to his/her last will he/she would have the final rest place.
The elegant design of the transportation is now more common in traditional funerals as well. It has many reasons, but the main reason is that we would be able to provide the most. This is a memorial service, which makes it easier to bear the heavy grief, which is often beyond endurance during the first few days. In order to be with our loved ones through the last journey, we need a vehicle that allows this and also complies with the law.
Transportation of the deceased has always existed. In earlier times it happened in different ways. There were times when a vehicle was used, but it was also common to have escorts to take the coffin on the last journey. It mainly depends on the place where the catafalque is.
In the case of having the catafalque at the home of the deceased, the transportation is obviously part of the ceremony.
Today, thanks to the technical achievements, the most stylish and convenient way to transport the deceased is to use a specially designed motor vehicle, which does not only provide the appropriate tools, but also ensures the appropriate level, which is also reflected in its aesthetic.
All bereaved relatives have the obligation to choose the way that the wish of the deceased was, or could have this opportunity, it expresses the highest degree of respect.
