Where is the committal service typically held?

The committal service is typically held at the grave site. This is the final part of the service that occurs after the funeral or memorial service and is specifically focused on the burial or interment of the deceased. During this ceremony, family and friends gather to say their final goodbyes and often have the opportunity to participate in the burial process, which can be a significant moment of closure. The grave site setting provides a personal and meaningful location for this intimate gathering, allowing mourners to connect with the final resting place of their loved one.

Other locations like the place of death, the home of the deceased, or the funeral home may be appropriate for different aspects of the grieving process or memorial services, but the committal service itself is distinctively marked by its occurrence at the grave site where the body is laid to rest.
