A Final Act of Love

When you lose a loved one, you realize two things, life is temporary and you are forced to face your own mortality.

When planning a memorial for your loved one, often during a time of stress and grief, wondering if you are honoring your loved one the way they truly wanted is common.  In addition to leaving a financial Will and important documents in a place where family members can easily find them, your funeral plans will need to be found first. Does everyone you live with know where you keep them, and is the location easily accessible? Do you want to be cremated or buried? If buried, where? If cremated, who should keep your remains, or should they be scattered? Where? Do you want a memorial service, a simple graveside service with close family, or a large “Celebration of Life” party? Most times the sentiment heared most is, “Am I doing this right?” 

These questions of honoring a loved one in the “correct” way are difficult and often conjure up unnecessary anxiety and stress.
