While Halloween has become known for costumes and candy, its origins reach far deeper — into traditions of remembrance, reverence, and the care of the departed. The ancient Celtic festival of Samhain marked the time when the veil between the living and the dead was believed to be thinnest, and communities gathered to honor ancestors. That spirit of remembrance carried through to All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days — moments still observed around the world as times to reflect and give thanks for those who came before us.
For those who work in funeral service, this season naturally holds special meaning. It’s a time when the public often reflects on mortality, remembrance, and the value of meaningful memorials. Funeral directors, as the guiding light for families during these times, play an integral role in helping them navigate these themes every day.
