It is common for family members to wait at the exit and thank guests as they leave the funeral. If it’s a burial, the coffin will be transported to the cemetery or burial ground where pallbearers or a team organised by your Funeral Director will lift the coffin and lower it into the grave. For some, this can offer a source of comfort, while others feel uncomfortable seeing the body of their loved one. If you don’t want to view the body it’s perfectly acceptable to take a seat and not approach the coffin.
