Why Have a Funeral?
There is a growing trend where some families are choosing not to have a funeral.
The reasons vary, but this decision is often based with finances in mind or simply not feeling connected to the idea of a formal funeral.
Many are not aware that a funeral can be held just about anywhere. Think your backyard, a local event space, winery, golf course, or even a beautiful park.
A funeral does not have to be officiated by a clergy member or be religious in nature. A personal and unique ceremony can include elements of faith or be totally non-religious.
Funerals do not have to be large and formal. They can be an intimate gathering with a more relaxed tone.
The options are endless.
But why is a funeral important? Why bother with a funeral?
Funerals help us process what has happened. They help us remember our loved one's life and celebrate all that they meant to us.
A funeral helps us feel engaged and connected to a purposeful experience.
It is a final good-bye, and yet it welcomes all the memories that may have been forgotten.
The key is that your loved one's funeral should be meaningful to you and your family, a positive experience that leaves a lasting impact.
Your loved one lived. They were loved. They were special.
Take time to remember.
