Choosing Cremation Doesn't Mean Skipping the Service
Many people believe that choosing cremation means there will be no viewing or funeral service. This is a common misunderstanding. Cremation is simply a final step—it does not prevent families from gathering, remembering, and honoring a loved one through meaningful services beforehand.
Why a Service Matters
A visitation or funeral service gives family and friends the opportunity to come together during a difficult time. Many families find comfort in:
- Seeing loved ones come to pay their respects
- Sharing stories and memories
- Feeling supported by the presence of others
When services are held, people are far more likely to reach out, attend, and offer comfort in person.
Personal Touches That Celebrate a Life
Services allow families to create a tribute that reflects the individual’s life and personality, including:
- Photo and video tributes
- Meaningful music and readings
- Beautiful floral arrangements
- Personal displays and memorabilia
These details help tell a story, spark conversation, and create lasting memories for those who attend.
Viewing Can Be an Important Part of Healing
For many families, a viewing provides a peaceful opportunity to say goodbye. It allows loved ones to see the person at rest and can be an important step in the grieving process.
