AAMI Funeral Home Directing Practice Exam

The sanctuary is the area of the church that houses the altar. It’s the front, sacred space where liturgical actions occur, including the placing of the altar table and other elements used during worship. A pall is the cloth that covers a casket at funerals, a wake service is the visitation held before the funeral, and prayer cards are memorial keepsakes. None of those are spaces in the church; they relate to funeral rites and memorial items.
