Planning A Funeral Memorial
By Michelle Bery
Saying goodbye to a loved one who has passed away is
difficult in any capacity. In many cases, during this
time of emotional upheaval, family members are also
faced with a bevy of decisions. Funeral arrangements
must be made and if there is no plan in place, such
details can be extremely overwhelming. Of course, there
is also the option of holding a funeral memorial to
honor your loved one.
A traditional funeral is held just prior to burial in
either a funeral parlor or place of worship. In most
cases, a casket containing the deceased is present at
the funeral. A funeral memorial, however, takes place
without the presence of the deceased and, because of
this, can be held anywhere and at any time.
Some people choose to hold a funeral memorial if the
deceased was not particularly religious; or if they
would rather those honoring their loved one remembered
them the way that they were rather than having the
casket as a lasting visual. In some terrible cases, the
body of the deceased is not available because of the
manner of death. A funeral memorial may be held in this
situation.
A funeral memorial can actually be a quite moving
service. Not confined to any particular location, a
funeral memorial can be held at a place that was special
to the deceased. There is no limit the places you can
hold a funeral memorial - including holding it an
outdoor location. Normally, a funeral memorial will
showcase pictures of the deceased. You may also choose
to include favorite pieces of music, as well as readings
by the attendees. Ultimately, a funeral memorial is
designed to honor the life of your loved one; you are
not limited in any capacity in doing this.
In some situations, the deceased may have planned their
own funeral memorial prior to their death. If this is
the case, then it is simply your job to set into motion
the decisions that have already been made. If there is
no plan in place, then it is up to the family members to
plan a fitting funeral memorial. This is a process best
done together; join together as a group united in
planning a funeral memorial reflective of their loved
one's unique personality.
