So what are cremation memorials? Nowadays it is more common to get cremated than opt for the traditional burial in the ground.
There are many reasons such as the cost factor and flexibility that are motivating more people to use cremation.
When someone is cremated, there is generally a funeral service or ceremony for the deceased.
Cremation memorials is just that kind of service.
It is meant for those who have chosen to be cremated.
There is really no difference between a burial service ceremony except that the body is not present.
Although the ashes of the deceased may be present in an urn or similar container, to view upon a body is not available.
In cremation services, it is helpful to have many photos of the deceased since the body is not present.
Some use a memorial photo display table which photos throughout their life is displayed.
Having this is helpful for many in attendance as well as the bereaved family members.
There can also be a video slideshow and tribute that is shared.
A special time of sharing is done during an open time for sharing in which anyone present can give a short little testimony or memory of their relationship with the deceased.
This is optional and not all families desire to do this so its up to you on whether you want to include it or not.
For many these types of services is a way to begin the healing process that so many journey on when they lose a loved one.
