Memorial Service Idea at the Cemetery

May 30, 2011 urngarden.com

One of our clients traveled from Missouri to New Mexico to inter her brother who passed away last year. She’s from a big Irish family, 10 kids in all, and they coordinated a memorial service to be held over the long holiday weekend. He had been cremated and they planned to place his ashes in a niche at the cemetery in a wood urn.

Her brother was a poet, an earthy guy who liked to draw pictures of trees. At the memorial service they set up a small table and displayed his poetry, drawings, memorial cards, and an arrangement of a tree and potted shamrocks. A very simple service, a friend read a poem, family said a few words, they dismissed for lunch.

A memorial service can always be held at a later date and does not have to be an elaborate affair.
