What a Chinese Funeral Is

Many families want to honor their loved one’s Chinese traditions but are unsure whether a local funeral home will understand what matters to them. We do, and we are here to help. As a funeral home serving Lakewood and Tacoma, we work with each family to shape a service around their customs, whether those follow Buddhist, Taoist, Christian or personal tradition. A Chinese funeral often includes a time to gather, a ceremony, then burial or cremation and remembrance. Below we walk through each part, and how our team helps you honor every wish along the way.

— How We Walk With You

What Chinese Funeral Traditions Include

Most Chinese funerals we help arrange for Lakewood and Tacoma families move through a few familiar parts, though every family shapes them differently. Here is what each one can include, what choices are yours, and how our team carries the details so your family can be together.

1
Arranging with Your Family

We begin by meeting with your family to understand your wishes and traditions, so every part of the service, from the gathering to the ceremony, reflects what matters most to you.

2
The Wake and Family Gathering

Many families gather for a wake before the funeral, a time to pay respects, keep company and welcome relatives traveling in. You decide how it unfolds, quiet or full of visitors.

3
The Funeral Ceremony

The ceremony is the heart of the day, shaped around your faith and family’s wishes. It can follow Buddhist, Taoist, Christian or family tradition, held in our chapel or your temple.

4
Burial and Cremation

Families choose burial or cremation, and both can be arranged here so the whole day stays in one place. Our on-site memorial park offers traditional ground burial for families who choose it.

5
Remembrance Afterward

Many families continue to remember their loved one in the months and years that follow. We are glad to support your family whenever you are ready to plan a remembrance.

Honoring Your Family's Traditions

Families often tell us what they feared most was not being understood. We ask about the customs that matter to you rather than assuming, and make room for them with care, from the gathering to the keepsakes you wish to include. Your traditions guide us.
