Embracing the Spirit of Halloween at Green Funeral Home

The History of Halloween: A Celebration of Life and Death

Halloween, a holiday that has become synonymous with spooky decorations, costumes, and trick-or-treating, has its roots in ancient festivals honoring the dead. The Celts, who lived in what is now Ireland, Scotland, and the United Kingdom, celebrated Samhain, a festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter.

As the veil between the living and the dead was believed to be at its thinnest on this day, the Celts would leave food and drink offerings for their ancestors. This tradition was later adopted by the Roman Catholic Church, which merged it with All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day to create what we now know as Halloween.

At Green Funeral Home, we understand the significance of honoring our loved ones who have passed on. That's why we're committed to providing compassionate and personalized funeral services that celebrate their lives.
