Funeral Memorial Service
Here at Become Funerals, our mission is simple: Flexible. Human. Personal. And in that we provide a more unique and personal service. We appreciate that this is a deeply emotional time for you and those close to your dearly departed: we’re here to help you through this process with as little stress as possible.
Cremation has increased holding a memorial service rather than a traditional funeral has become popular. The difference being, during a funeral the departed is present while at a memorial service they are not present. Memorial services also provide the flexibility our diverse, more mobile society requires since they are not tied to a specific time and place.
At Become funerals we like to refer to this service as a Celebration of Life, this is a ceremony that typically is held in lieu of a traditional funeral or memorial service. What sets these services apart is the level of personalisation and tone. A Celebration of Life is not a sombre affair. Instead, we find lots of laughter and storytelling. The focus is not on the death of the person, but on the joy that the person has brought to others. But it can stand alone as well as being incorporated as a component of a more traditional service. For some, the best arrangement is to hold a celebration of life in concert with a traditional funeral or memorial service. For others, a separate stand-alone celebration is more fitting.
Whether you have specific ideas in mind – be it the venue, music, flowers, decor, special activities as a tribute to your loved one – or you need advice and guidance on the options available, we’ll do as much or as little as you need us to.
What’s important is for you to take this opportunity to celebrate the life and legacy of your loved one in a way that tells their story best.
Tell us what you need and we’ll see to it that it’s all taken care of. Our Funeral Director, Andy, will guide you through the process.
