Memorial Service


A memorial service offers a distinct way to commemorate a loved one's life. Unlike a traditional funeral, it is a gathering where a casket is not present, though an urn with cremated remains may be displayed. This meaningful event can take place weeks or months after the passing.

Personalized Locations and Touches

Memorial services can be held in various locations significant to the deceased and family, such as a church, funeral home, community hall, or a place of personal importance. Typically, there's music, selected readings, and a heartfelt eulogy. These services can also evolve into a celebration of life, reflecting the unique personality and lifestyle of the departed.

A Personal Tribute

Our experience has shown us that modern families often seek services that go beyond tradition. By integrating the individuality and interests of the deceased, a memorial service can become deeply personal and profoundly meaningful. This can be achieved through the display of photographs or by centering the event around a beloved pastime.

Crafting a Personalized Memorial Service

Considering questions like the ones below can guide the creation of a fitting memorial service:

  • What were your loved one's passions and hobbies?
  • How would you describe their unique personality?
  • What role did their profession play in shaping their life?
  • Did they have strong spiritual beliefs?
  • Were they proud of their cultural or ethnic heritage?
