Unlike a traditional wake or funeral where the body and casket of the departed are present, a memorial service takes place after the remains have been cared for. If your loved one is cremated, the memorial service will feature the urn containing their ashes. And if ground burial is chosen, a memorial service can still be held with your loved one’s portrait. Memorial services serve the same purpose as other forms of funeral ceremonies, and that is to honour a person who is no longer around.
Families go with a memorial service for various reasons. One of the main reasons is when their loved one has passed away due to an unnatural cause, which makes the body unsuitable for a wake. Others opt for a memorial service when a loved one has passed away overseas. It’s also not uncommon for organisations to conduct memorial services for a departed founder or key business leader.
A memorial service can be held anywhere as long as it’s allowed, such as funeral parlours, void decks, offices, residences, and even hotels. From the floral arrangements to the eulogies, our team at Direct will do our best to meet your requirements.
