On The Day Of The Cremation Service
When someone special passes away, it is natural to want to honor their memory with cremation services in Roslyn Heights, NY. While there are plenty of steps you will take to put those things into place, once everything has been decided and the funeral home is implementing your plans, you have more time to mourn with your family. When the day of the cremation service arrives, here are a few tips to help you get through it with as much ease as possible:
Tip 1: Dress Comfortably
You want to respect your loved one and others in attendance by wearing something appropriate for the type of service that has been organized. However, you also want to be comfortable in what you wear because you will likely be in it for a long time. The last thing you need is discomfort on an emotional day. Choose shoes that fit well and won’t make your feet hurt and an outfit that perhaps has a sweater or jacket with it that you can take off or put on for temperature comforts.
Tip 2: Give Yourself Time
You’ll likely be seeing a lot of people during the cremation service. It’s okay to allow yourself a little time alone in the morning before you leave. You could also get to the funeral home a bit early and spend some time there to process things on your own before things set in for the rest of the day. You need time to grieve in whatever way works for you.
Tip 3: Keep Up With Healthy Choices
It might be a long day, but you need to listen to your body and do what it tells you to do in order to get through the day. If you feel a hunger pang, grab a piece of fruit or another healthy snack. Keep some water nearby and take sips before and after the service. If you feel fatigued, have a seat instead of standing to greet people. Everyone knows you’re going through a lot and in order to get through it, you have to do what’s best for your body in every moment possible.
Tip 4: Accept Help
There are going to be a lot of people around you who just want to help with what you’re going through—let them. If someone offers to deliver the flowers to your home after the service, that’s one less thing you have to worry about. You may not need all of the help offered, but accept what you do need graciously.
