Memorial And Rememberance Services
What makes a memorial service special?
A memorial service is similar to a funeral service in many ways. The main difference is that at a funeral service, your loved one’s body is present- a focal point.
At a memorial service, your loved one’s body is not present.
Usually, a framed portrait, table of personal items or an urn with their ashes in serves as the focal point at a memorial service.
You have a lot of freedom with this decision of service, therefore choose a fitting location since the body of your loved one will not be present.
Perhaps: it could be held:
- at home, in the garden
- At a favourite spot
- within a church building, community centre or cricket club
- At the funeral home
- a restaurant
I can help you consider the service’s content, help you plan and deliver it.
It could include all sorts of things including poems, stories, tributes, live music, photographs, videos, and personal items.
I won’t join you if you plan to have food or drink, but would be happy to facilitate a moment within your celebrations.
What about a Memorial Garden?
Many cemeteries and crematoria in the UK have memorial gardens or gardens of remembrance.
You can choose from a range of memorials to help you remember your loved one such as a tree, bench, or plaque.
I would be happy to be present with you, and conduct a service at the venue.
For example, where you may want to plant a tree.
