Service of Remembrance FAQs
What is a service of remembrance?
A service of remembrance is a gathering held to honour and remember someone who has passed. It may include readings, music, shared memories, prayers, photos, or other personal elements. It can be held with or without the body or cremated remains present.
Is a service of remembrance the same as a funeral?
A service of remembrance is similar to a funeral in that it gives family and friends a time to gather and honour a loved one. The main difference is that it is often more flexible and may take place after cremation or after a private family arrangement.
Can a service of remembrance be held after cremation?
Yes. Many families choose to hold a service of remembrance after cremation. This can give the family more time to plan the gathering, choose a meaningful date, and include relatives or friends who may need to travel.
Can a service of remembrance be personalized?
Yes. A service of remembrance can include personal details such as favourite music, photos, readings, stories, flowers, keepsakes, or cultural and spiritual traditions. The service can be planned in a way that reflects the life, values, and wishes of the person being remembered.
