What is a Memorial Service?
Memorial Service
- Is a gathering where a casket is not present.
- Cremated remains may be present during a memorial service.
- It can be held weeks or even months after the death.
- It can be held in a church, funeral home, community hall, or somewhere of importance to the deceased and family.
- There is usually music, selected readings, and a eulogy.
- Memorial services can be further personalized as a celebration-of-life.
Memorial Service Ideas
If a personalized memorial service suits the needs of your family, we suggest you consider the following questions:
- What did your loved one like to do?
- What was he or she like as an individual?
- What was their profession and how did that shape their life?
- Was your loved one spiritual?
- Was he or she proud of their cultural or ethnic heritage?

Why a Memorial Service?
Rather than opting to do things "the same old way", many families today want to celebrate the life of a loved one.
If you too desire to make the funeral for a loved one more engaging and personally meaningful, a celebration-of-life may be the perfect concept to build on.
