Crowning Ceremony
Crowning Ceremony
A funeral is a time of mourning, when communities gather to support one another through the pain of a loss. But it can also be a time of celebration, a homegoing where a departed loved one is raised in glory and friends and family members gather to tell the story of their life.
Our signature services help create a comforting and welcoming space for grief, where joy and sorrow can be expressed in equal measure.
"Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life."
REVELATION 2:10
Crowning Ceremony
The crowning ceremony is another way that a Christian life well-lived is celebrated at Pipkin Braswell. It’s a symbolic reference to biblical passages in Revelation and 2 Timothy, which speak of being crowned in Heaven after a lifetime of keeping the faith.
This ceremony is optional but can be included with any funeral arranged by Pipkin Braswell. Some families incorporate the crowning ceremony in their loved one’s service for its religious significance. Others choose it as a way to honor their heritage and traditions within the community.
