Mourning the loss of a spouse, parent, or child can be overwhelming. Grief can make it very hard to plan a funeral. The family has to decide whether they want a funeral or memorial service to complement the burial plans. First the family has to decide how they want to physical remains to be handled. Either cremation or traditional burial is acceptable. Some people believe that if the deceased is cremated, then they shouldn’t have a traditional funeral. This isn’t the case. A funeral director will be pleased to help the family arrange for a funeral service.
However, if the family prefers to hold a Memorial Service Groton, that can just as easily be arranged. While many families do find comfort in a traditional format that they have shared with many others over the years, other families prefer a very personal style. The memorial service can be held in a church or funeral home. But it also can be held in a hotel conference room, public space such as a botanical garden or even the family home. There can be traditional organ music or even heavy metal for a teen. A memorial service sets the tone for the way in which friends and family will begin the mourning process. It’s very important that this first step not be taken lightly. The person’s life will be remembered and treasured, stories told and perhaps there will even be a touch of laughter. Bereaved friends and family will find this the beginning of a healing journey.
Some people who are aware of the passing of time in their lives choose to plan their own Memorial Service Groton. They even pay for it in advance. This thoughtful step allows the family to relax a bit. There is no need to worry about what the deceased would have wanted. The deceased clearly spelled out how they want their physical remains handled. Then they described the service they wanted in detail. The flower colors are perfect, a favorite song is sung, and a poem read. The family can remember their favorite times and share them with friends. Everyone will be pleased that they attended the Memorial Service In Groton. The family will always remember the kind planning that made it easy for them.
