If you are arranging a Buddhist funeral in Lakewood, your first concern is likely making sure your loved one is honored exactly as your tradition asks. A Buddhist funeral usually brings family and community together, often with a gathering, a ceremony and cremation, though customs vary across traditions and communities. Mountain View Funeral Home and Crematory coordinates every detail while working closely with your family, your temple and your clergy so the service reflects your wishes. Below we walk through the parts many Buddhist funerals include and how we support each one.
Every Buddhist funeral is unique because every family and every tradition is unique. Our team coordinates every detail while your family and your spiritual leaders guide the traditions that matter most.
We begin by meeting with your family to understand your traditions, then connect with your temple, monks or spiritual leaders, so every detail is coordinated the way your family and community wish.
Many Buddhist families gather before the service for chanting and quiet reflection, often led by monks or community members. We provide a welcoming space and coordinate closely with your temple on every detail.
The service often includes chanting, readings and reflection shaped around your tradition. It can be held in our chapel or your temple, and we coordinate with your monks and community so every detail follows your customs.
Cremation is the path many Buddhist families choose. For families seeking Buddhist cremation in Tacoma, our on-site crematory keeps your loved one in our care. Learn more about the cremation process.
Many families also hold remembrance observances in the days and weeks that follow, honoring their loved one according to their tradition. We are glad to support you when you are ready.
Every Buddhist family honors their loved one differently. Customs may differ across Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions and among cultural communities. We work closely with your family, your temple and your spiritual leaders so the service reflects what matters most to you.
