Private Funeral
Honoring your loved ones with traditional Buddhist funeral ceremonies.
Buddhist Funeral Services
Wat Thai of Los Angeles provides compassionate and dignified Buddhist funeral services for families during their time of grief. Our monks conduct traditional Thai Buddhist funeral ceremonies that honor the deceased and provide comfort and spiritual support to the bereaved family.
Scheduling the Ceremony
The host of the departed or the Funeral Home may contact the temple to set up a date for Private Funeral services. The following must be coordinated with the temple:
- The total number of guests, including family attending the ceremony
- The host may bring their own food
- The temple also has a catering service available
The Ceremony
There will be four monks attending the ceremony. The ceremony includes chanting of sacred Pali texts, merit-making offerings on behalf of the deceased, and pouring of water (Kruat Nam) to transfer merit.
What to Prepare
If you have your own welcome speech, eulogy, and photo tribute, please prepare them for the ceremony.
