There a number of important things that come from a funeral or memorial service. The biggest value is the actual “gathering” and “remembering” of the one we lost. This planned gathering gives an invitation to other family, friends, co-workers, and the community and provides a specific time, place and purpose. This gathering, which of course is beneficial for many reasons, sets a “time” for the remembrance. This allows people to come together, to support the family, to share stories and to begin the grief journey…both in their own way and yet also together. One other benefit is it helps people process the loss of this loved one. There are so many options now for this and whether you are looking at a traditional funeral, a memorial, or a celebration of life – the important thing is to gather and remember.
