Cremation with a Memorial Celebration

Are you currently planning a cremation service for a loved one who has died? One of the reasons some people go with funeral over a cremation is that they want a formal service in a church, chapel, or some other place of worship. Not everyone needs or wants that, but some people appreciate tradition and are not inclined to deviate from what they’re accustomed to. Even so, more and more people are choosing direct cremation in Mustang, OK. This doesn’t mean, however, that they don’t want some sort of event to celebrate the deceased. That’s why combining a cremation with a memorial celebration makes sense for family and friends.

Here are some reasons why combining a cremation and a memorial celebration is a great idea.

Brings People Together

You, family, friends, and well-wishers will be able to congregate at a memorial celebration. Direct cremation doesn’t include a funeral service or anything of that nature, but you can add a memorial that allows people to come together and to celebrate someone who has passed away.

Closure

Some people need some sort of service in order to gain closure. At the memorial celebration, you and others at the event will be able to process what has happened. The memorial celebration will effectively demonstrate that the passing really did take place. And this will help attendees to process the loss and to gain the closure needed to move on.

Compromise

Are there members of your family who still prefer a traditional funeral over a direct cremation? That’s okay since some people prefer one over the other. But if you follow up a direct cremation with a memorial celebration, you might be able to win over even family members who would prefer a traditional funeral. They will still, with a memorial celebration, be able to take part in a formal event that allows them to gain the closure they need as part of the mourning process. You can do many of the same things at a memorial celebration as you would at a funeral service. This means you can read the eulogy, play music, have readings, and do other things.
