Yes, a memorial service is a caring and meaningful event in
which family and friends have an opportunity to honor their loved
one and say a last "goodbye". Viewing the deceased's body before
cremation often helps the bereaved to accept the fact that a death
has occurred and resolve grief more readily.
One of the most important aspects of the service is to support and
give comfort to the immediate family.
Many families prefer to individualize the service by focusing on a
special interest. This may include some aspect of the person's
religion, family traditions, ethnic background or occupation.
The memorial service will leave your family and friends with
lasting memories of the years you spent together.
