Purpose of a Funeral or Memorial

 

What is the reason why you should plan a memorial or funeral? Some people assume that it is just tradition to hold an event in honor of the deceased. While there are often traditions included in the funeral services, this gathering also plays an important part to start the healing process. It can be a challenge to work through the grief of losing a loved one. A formal or informal gathering is a time when people can meet together to say goodbye, honor the life of the deceased, share memories, and pay their last respects.

 

Also, don’t overlook the importance of this event to showcase the accomplishments of your family member. The person lived a full, unique life that needs to be highlighted in the activities. You can take a formal approach with a program and a traditional funeral. Or, you might consider the alternative by having an offbeat gathering with fun music and activities that were enjoyed by the deceased.

 

In some situations, families choose to forgo the funeral or memorial services. They don’t want to pay to use the facilities, or they are looking for ways to simplify the end of life services. Even if you choose to have a direct burial or cremation, it can be beneficial to schedule a small, intimate gathering with friends and family members at home.

Funeral and Cremation FAQs

 

What is a Funeral?

A funeral is a ceremony for celebrating, honoring, and remembering the life of a person who has passed away. While specific customs, traditions, and practices differ across different cultures and religions, all funerals serve the key purpose of giving the bereaved a special time and place to say goodbye and find comfort and healing in one another.

 

What Do Funeral Directors Do?

A funeral director is a licensed professional who specializes in all aspects of funerals and related services. They provide support to the family, guide the arrangement of visitations and funeral ceremonies, prepare the deceased according to the family’s wishes, and ensure that everything goes according to plan. They also arrange for the removal and transportation of deceased throughout the process, and assist families with any legal or insurance-related paperwork they might need to file. They’re experienced at recognizing when an individual is having an extremely difficult time coping with a loss, and can provide extra support and recommendations for professional help if needed.

 

Can I Still Have Viewing and Funeral Services with Cremation?

Definitely! In fact, we encourage you to do so. Choosing cremation only indicates how you’d like to care for your loved one after the service and doesn’t exclude you from celebrating and honoring their life in any way. Whether you’d like to have visitation beforehand, arrange a funeral service before cremation, or wait and hold the service after the cremation, we’re happy to help you design a meaningful service to accompany the cremation.
