Losing a loved one is one of the most challenging experiences of one’s life. After a loved one passes, families can experience devastation, confusion, guilt, and regret. The road to healing can be challenging to navigate if essential needs and feelings are not appropriately addressed.
The mourning process can take an extensive amount of time to work through. Staying in touch and gathering with others should not end immediately after the death occurs. Try to continue to gather together throughout the entire grieving process.

Ancient Egyptians believed that at the end, they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife.
The first question was, "Did you bring joy?"
The second was, "Did you find joy?"

The significance of having the body present cannot be overstated. While the decision ultimately rests with the family, we believe it is important to inform our readers about both traditional and nontraditional options.
The presence of the body can help mourners confront the reality of the situation. It's not uncommon for those grieving to approach the body and express sentiments such as, "She really has passed away." Although some may find this reaction unusual, it plays a crucial role in the healing process.
Have you ever walked through a cemetery and felt drawn to the names on the stones?
Maybe you’ve paused… read their story… even said their name out loud.
There’s something powerful about honoring someone’s memory, whether you knew them or not.

Leaving a legacy is a fundamental aspect of the human experience. As Jim Rohn wisely said, "When we strive to leave a legacy, we are acting with a selflessness that can only benefit everyone."
Have you considered what your legacy will be?

What is a Memorial Service?
A Memorial Service is similar to a Funeral Service, but it does not involve the presence of a body. Memorial services offer significant flexibility, allowing families additional time to come together and honor their loved one. It is quite common for a memorial service to take place over a month after the individual has passed away.
