The Importance of Holding a Memorial Service

Memorial services can be held in a variety of different venues and be structured according to any tradition you choose. Regardless of what the memorial service you plan looks like, holding one is an important ritual that benefits everyone involved. Here are just a few of the ways that holding a memorial service can help your family through the grieving process:

• Pay Tribute: A memorial service is the perfect time to honor your loved one's life. You could consider inviting family and friends to share thoughts, memories, and stories - you might even learn something new about your loved one! Appreciating the special moments of their life will help you feel better during a difficult time.
• Share Support: A memorial service allows families and friends to come together to comfort and support one another during an extremely difficult time. You will feel supported by your community as they share in your grief.
• Get a Sense of Closure: It can be extremely difficult to adjust to the passing of a loved one. A memorial service often serves to offer a sense of closure, which is an important step in the grieving process. While you will certainly never forget your loved one, the memorial service is an important first step on your journey to healing.
• Celebrate a Life: The memorial service is your chance to put your loved one's life in the spotlight and celebrate their unique, one-of-a-kind personality. We encourage your family to add special touches that reflect your loved one's distinctive identity, from photos and mementos to their favorite music, food, and other interesting additions.

Planning a funeral service for your loved one can be an emotionally challenging task, but making thoughtful, considered preparations help you put together a meaningful event that properly honors the life of the departed. Our experienced professionals are here to help. Here are some key factors that you’ll want to consider when you begin the funeral planning process:



• Type of Service: The first step will be to decide what type of service you want. You can opt for a more traditional memorial, a graveside service, or a cremation ceremony, to name a few; our team can help review your options. Consider any religious or cultural preferences that you’ll want to include and what your loved one’s wishes for their remains were, as well as the location of the service.
• Budget: Set a realistic budget for funeral expenses, considering all potential costs. This will include funeral home services, burial or cremation fees, caskets, urns, or other expenses.
• Floral Arrangements & Donations: Decide if floral arrangements will be displayed at the service or sent to your family's home. If the deceased had a favorite charity, consider setting up a donation fund in their memory instead of flowers.
• Personalization: Take the opportunity to incorporate personal touches such as favorite songs, readings, or memories into the funeral service. Consider displaying photos, videos, or personal items at the service. Plan for any special requests or tributes, such as live music or a specific theme. If speakers are needed, decide who will give eulogies or special readings; you can also choose a meaningful officiant to lead the service.
• Guests: Make a list of family, friends, and acquaintances who should be invited. Consider whether the service will be open to the public or private for close family only. Send out invitations, reach out to loved ones, or provide information online about the service details, leaving plenty of time for people to make travel arrangements. Our team can help with these logistics.
• Transportation: You’ll want to consider transportation for family members and guests, including funeral cars, hearses, and limousines if necessary. If necessary, you’ll also want to make arrangements to transport the body to the service location and burial site. Our professionals can handle the arrangements by working with your funeral home to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
• Aftercare: Planning a gathering after the funeral can provide a good opportunity for friends and family to comfort each other.
