What’s a Crowning Ceremony?

At Mercy-McGowan Funeral Home, we honor a life well-lived with our special crowning ceremony. This tradition symbolizes the heavenly reward awaiting those who stay true to their beliefs. It’s inspired by Revelation 2:10, “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life."

During the ceremony, you can choose to have the crown carried down the aisle by the funeral director or a family member. We will then place the metal or flower crown on the funeral casket or floral arrangement.

You can add the crowning ceremony onto any funeral package. Many families often choose it for its religious importance or to pay homage to their heritage and community traditions.

Customize The Crowning Ceremony

You can customize different aspects of the crowning ceremony like:

  • Music Selection: You have the freedom to choose whatever songs will be played or sung during the ceremony.
  • Crowning Moment: Choose who you'd like to be involved during the crowning moment, whether a family member, religious leader, or funeral director.
  • Type of Crown: Explore options for the kind of crown to use in the ceremony, such as metal or floral crowns.
  • And More
