Designing your Celebration of Life
There are two facets of the design process. First, we ask you to consider how you wish to honor and celebrate the life. When those important decisions are made, we’ll turn to the issue of how you wish to care for the physical remains.
How to Honor a Life
It’s about bringing those you love together, at a time of loss. It’s a natural thing to do, and over time, has become a socially-accepted practice. More importantly a memorial service or Celebration of Life, whether traditional, or contemporary, is the first step in healing.
You can have your service anywhere, and any way, you want. Your choices include the place of celebration, day of the week, and time of day; the musical selection, what prayers will be said or songs you’d like sung. We can arrange to have the service at any venue of your choice from traditional at a church to local event centers or even your loved ones favorite restaurant, river location, or their favorite thing they loved to do. The options are limitless. We’re here to help you create the most memorable and meaningful service to honor your loved one. Our flower and gift selection on our page is pretty impressive with many different options. It includes traditional and non-traditional gifts for your loved ones and friends. Please take a moment to look through it as we partner with local vendors in our community. Most items are shipped for free and mean the world to the loved ones in their time of need.
Cremation
Your next consideration focuses on cremation. Usually, people are clear on this point. In fact, your loved one may have told you, or someone else, exactly how they wish to be cared for. It can be a hard decision for some families, especially when the wishes of the deceased were never clearly stated. If that's the case, please know we're able to help you come to the perfect decision for your loved one, and for you.
Once you decide, the finer details come into focus. Naturally, we’re here to help you.
If cremation is your choice, then you'll need to make the next decision: whether the cremated remains will be placed in a mausoleum niche, or buried on the cemetery grounds or taken with you, the options are limitless. You have the freedom to choose whatever your heart desires.
Designing Your Memorial
There are few decisions in life as personal as deciding where you wish to be permanently memorialized. After all, it is a decision that extends into the lifetimes of your children and grandchildren – where do you wish them to go to honor your memory and share their emotions?
Ground Burial
Deciding on the type of memorial property is a very personal decision. Always Faithful Memorial Services will help you find a setting where meditation, reflection, remembrance, and healing can take place.Mausoleums
Mausoleums allow for above ground entombment in either community buildings or specially designed family structures. At one time the advantages of mausoleum entombment were available only to royalty, the famed or the very wealthy. Well-known mausoleums include the Taj Mahal, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and Egyptian Pyramids. Mausoleum property is now affordable to most everyone. There are community mausoleums with crypt spaces and cremation niche sections. Private mausoleums are individually designed, custom-built and personalized to reflect the traditions and values of the individual.
Cremation Remains Interment Options
Cremation niches, mausoleums, personal locations, in the cemetery of your choice, the options are pretty limitless. If you want to scatter your loved ones remains in their favorite place in private, you can do that. If you want assistance, we will always be glad to help you. With cremation there are so many other options available to the family and friends. We provide you with one of our beautiful urns at no additional cost when you chose Always Faithful Memorial Services. There are no hidden costs.
