Visitation

The visitation offers a gentle and supportive space for friends and family, to connect, share memories, and find comfort together before the formal service. Held within our welcoming Fall River facilities, we help personalize this time to deeply honor your loved one's spirit. Consider incorporating elements like photo displays telling their life story, personal mementos that spark conversation, meaningful background music, or a tribute video. We work thoughtfully with your family to arrange visitation hours that provide solace and foster shared remembrance.

Funeral Service

We offer complete flexibility for the funeral service location, accommodating ceremonies within our comfortable Fall River chapel, at your family's place of worship, or any suitable venue selected by the family in the Fall River area. Our experienced team collaborates with you to personalize the ceremony, incorporating elements such as eulogies sharing life stories, specific musical selections that held meaning, poignant readings or scripture, or video tributes. 

Graveside Service

As the final act of laying a loved one to rest, the graveside or committal service holds deep significance for many families. This brief, yet meaningful, ceremony takes place at the cemetery burial site. It can immediately follow a traditional funeral service held at our chapel or a church, or it can be arranged as a standalone, intimate gathering solely for close family and friends at the graveside. Oliveira Family Funeral Homes meticulously coordinates with all Fall River area cemeteries to ensure this final tribute is conducted smoothly, respectfully, and according to your wishes.
