For a long time, families could choose to hold either funerals or memorial services when they were planning burial services or cremation services in Pelham, NY for their loved ones. Those were the two main options that families had as far as celebrating their loved one’s life was concerned. But more recently, many families have started to stage what is called a Life Celebration® for their loved ones. These are similar to funerals and memorial services in some ways, but they’re a lot more celebratory and joyful in nature. Here are some of the reasons why you and your family should consider holding a Life Celebration® for a loved one.

A Life Celebration® will serve as a true celebration of your loved one’s life.

Funerals and memorial services are often referred to as “celebrations” of a person’s life. But they don’t usually feel like celebrations at all. Instead, they’re often very somber events that feature a lot of people crying over a person’s loss. You might see a few tears at a Life Celebration®. But for the most part, you’re going to be able to celebrate your loved one’s life during a true celebration. It’ll feel festive even if you hold it in a funeral home following your loved one’s Pelham, NY cremation.

A Life Celebration® will be a truly unique and special experience for your family.

If you’ve been to one funeral or memorial service, you might feel like you’ve been to them all. Funerals and memorial services typically all feel the same and can be a little bit cookie-cutter when it comes right down to it. But a Life Celebration® will be different in that you’ll be able to make it as unique and special as your loved one was. You can come up with all sorts of ways to personalize a Life Celebration® so that it represents what your loved one was all about.

A Life Celebration® will set your family up with the right kind of support from others.

Your family can invite whoever you would like to a loved one’s Life Celebration®. You should try to invite those who you know are going to be supportive during this dark time in your life. You’ll appreciate the fact that you’ll be able to mingle with those at a Life Celebration® and get the support that you need. This isn’t always something that families have time to do during traditional funerals and memorial services.

A Life Celebration® will provide your family with memories that will last a lifetime.

A Life Celebration® is going to help you and your family take a look back at your loved one’s life and celebrate the impact that they had on you. But at the same time, you’ll find that your family will make a ton of new memories during a Life Celebration®. You’ll look back on the day of the Life Celebration® with fond memories and talk about it for many years to come. It’s one more reason why a Life Celebration® might be the best option for you and your family.
