Memorial Service


This is a way for the community of friends and loved ones to join in a remembrance of the deceased person’s life, utilizing the services of clergy or officiate. A memorial can take place before or after the body is buried or cremated. The body may be present, or not. Pictures, slideshows of their life or videos are often shown.

There may be a presentation, in which one or several family members might speak, or close friends share stories. If there is no set schedule, there might be room for any visitor to take the podium and share a memorable moment. In this way, love and strength unite in the face of loss to help the grieving.
