The memorial service is one of the most common types of funeral services. It is very similar to a traditional funeral, with the exception being that the body is not present, A memorial service gives you the flexibility to create a ceremony that highlights the individual’s personality, achievements, and contributions to society. Today, people really value funeral ceremonies as a critical part to the grieving process. To truly honor someone’s life, some families find that a memorial service allows them the opportunity to share their loved one’s life story, what they stood for, and what they valued.
The beauty of memorial services is that they do not have to occur within a certain time frame following a death. The remains are not at the center of this service, only the previous memory of the deceased.
