Cremation Services Online
When a loved one needs cremation services, you might also want to have a memorial service for them. Right now, one of the safest ways to do that is online so everyone is distanced.
It is hard to honor a loved one with a cremation service in LaGrange, IL followed by a memorial service because you might not get to do what you really wanted to do, which might mean something large and involving fathering lots of people. That’s just not a good idea in today’s climate so you might have to settle for having a cremation memorial service online. You can still honor your loved one and give them the proper send-off. Here are some tips to consider.
Gather Close Family
One thing you can do is gather the family members that are closest to the individual, like those who live in the same household with them, and have a service. You can livestream that service for any other family members or friends to watch and participate in from a safe distance. This is a nice way to have the service right away, if that’s what you want, without leaving anyone important out—or putting anyone in danger.
Have A Casual Service Online
You don’t have to have a formal service of any kind, if you don’t want to. Instead, you could set up a much more casual service online. Just gather your family together in a video platform of some kind and share memories of your loved one. You can take turns showing pictures, videos, or even locations that they enjoyed. It can be a nice way to gather in a safe way, keep your loved one at the center of everything, and grieve and support one another at the same time.
Create A Memorial Page
You may tell family members that they should each do a memorial of their own for the loved one in a safe manner that keeps them distant from the larger group at hand. But in order to honor your loved one all together, you could create a memorial website, or use your loved one’s social media accounts as memorials. Everyone in the family can post pictures of what they did to honor your loved one with their own little services so everyone else can appreciate those motions. You can share quotes, pictures, stories, and anything else you want. You can gather sympathy from friends as well and allow them to comment and tell the family their memories. It can be a nice way to spread your loved one’s personality across the miles and let the whole family participate.
