Individualized Memorial Services After Cremation Services
If you have to have cremation services in Manhasset, NY for a loved one, direct cremation maybe your method of choice. That type of cremation happens soon after death without any services beforehand. Once the cremation is complete, though, you can have whatever type of service you want. While large gatherings aren’t a good idea right now, you can have several smaller services for your loved one and that can be very special as well. You can even let your family members have their own services in whatever way they want to honor your loved one. Here are some ideas for individualized services that could occur after cremation.
A Church Service
If your family attends a certain church or your loved one was a member and held it near to their heart, having a small memorial service in their church can be very nice. You don’t have to have a lot of people there (you can live stream the service to others if you want), but even having something small and intimate in their place of worship can be very special to everyone included. You can say a final goodbye and give them a service you know they would appreciate.
A Park Scattering
If you’ve decided to scatter your loved one’s ashes, having a small ceremony in the park where you want their final resting place to be can be very nice. You can invite close family members and everyone can share some memories of your loved one as you lay them to rest in a special location. Everyone who wants to visit that site again in the future can think of your loved one and that special ceremony.
A Home Memorial
There’s nothing wrong with holding a memorial right in your home with your immediate family and maybe a few others. In fact, any of your family members can do the same and have a ceremony of their own liking. Some people like to look through old photos and videos or share memories while others might want to make a special meal their loved one adored and celebrate a life well-lived. Whatever you do can honor your loved one in a special way.
There are plenty of other types of memorial services to have and if your family needs to have things small and separated, talk by phone and decide what everyone wants to do. You can all decide to do something at the same time and on the same day or it can be more spread out.
