Trisagion Prayers
These prayers are held at the funeral home, usually the evening before the funeral. A priest leads the family and friends in a series of prayers for the departed soul, asking for God’s mercy and forgiveness.
Orthodox Funeral Service
The funeral service takes place at the church. It consists of hymns, prayers, and readings from the scriptures, focusing on the resurrection and the promise of eternal life.
Burial Ceremony
At the gravesite, the priest performs the final Trisagion prayers and blesses the grave with holy water and incense. The casket is then lowered into the ground.
