What Is Memorial Cremation?
Memorial cremation is a service held to honour a loved one after cremation has taken place. Unlike traditional funerals, the cremated remains are typically present in a decorative urn, allowing families to hold a service without the time-sensitive constraints of a burial. At Prairie Rose Cremation & Funeral Services, we provide families with the flexibility to choose the time, setting, and personal touches that make the memorial truly meaningful.
Benefits of Choosing Memorial Cremation
Memorial cremation offers several advantages:
- Flexibility in scheduling the service
- Personalization options including photos, music, and videos
- More affordable than traditional funerals
- Allows for a peaceful, less rushed planning process
Personalizing the Memorial Service
Every life is unique, and a memorial cremation can reflect that individuality. You might include framed photographs, a memory table with mementos, or a video slideshow. Many families choose to have loved ones speak or share letters. At Prairie Rose Cremation & Funeral Services, we’re here to help you include those meaningful touches that reflect your loved one’s story.
Supporting Emotional Healing Through Memorials
Although the body is not present, a memorial service provides the same emotional benefits as a traditional funeral. It brings people together, encourages the sharing of memories, and helps families begin the healing process. Seeing cremated remains in a beautiful urn can provide comfort and a sense of presence, giving guests a focal point for reflection.
Understanding the Cremation Process
After the cremation, the cremated remains are carefully returned to the family in an urn of their choice. The memorial service can then be planned according to the family’s schedule and preferences. Our team provides full assistance with planning, from selecting the venue to organizing tribute materials and support services.
