Memorials

A gathering to remember.

We understand that gathering with family and friends to pay tribute to a loved one is a vital step in the healing process. Whether you choose a traditional funeral or a more personalized memorial service, our goal is to make sure every detail is one less thing for you to worry about. We are here to help you design a celebration of life that perfectly honors your loved one while considering your family’s emotional and spiritual needs.

Planning a Memorial Service

A memorial service can be as unique as the person it honors. When planning a personalized memorial, it’s helpful to reflect on your loved one’s life:

  • What did they enjoy doing? Consider incorporating activities or themes that reflect their hobbies or passions.
  • What was their personality like? Tailor the tone of the service to match their character—whether it’s solemn, joyful, or a blend of both.
  • What was their profession? Acknowledging their career and how it shaped their life can add a meaningful dimension to the service.
  • Was your loved one spiritual? Incorporating spiritual elements or rituals can provide comfort and connection.
  • Were they proud of their cultural or ethnic heritage? Celebrating their heritage through music, food, or traditions can make the memorial service more personal.

Key Considerations for a Memorial Service

There are many details to consider when planning a memorial service, and our funeral director is here to guide you through each step:

  • Guest List: The number of guests will help determine the location, timing, and format of the service.

  • Location and Timing: Choose a time and place that accommodates out-of-town relatives and friends. This might be at our well-appointed reception centers, which can be customized to fit your needs.

  • Service Leader: Decide who will lead the event. This could be a religious leader, a non-denominational celebrant, or a close friend or family member.

  • Speakers: Invite those who had a close relationship with the deceased to share stories, poems, or readings.

  • Activities: Consider incorporating activities that your loved one enjoyed or that symbolize their life.

  • Food and Beverages: Whether it’s a catered event or a potluck, the food and drink should reflect your loved one’s tastes or the theme of the service.

  • Music and Readings: Music and literature that your loved one cherished can create a moving atmosphere for reflection and remembrance.

  • Stories and Memories: Sharing personal stories can be deeply healing for everyone present.
