Keep the microphone muted unless it's your turn to speak or deliver a eulogy. Unnecessary sound may cause distractions to the funeral service, and since you can't be sure how they have their audio settings set up you don't want to risk interrupting anyone.

No, planning ahead for a funeral is NOT exciting. But it IS necessary. Leaving these decisions unplanned causes both emotional and financial burdens for those you leave behind. Give the ultimate gift of love to your family by planning ahead.

Have you ever noticed stone or coins on some monuments, and wondered why they were there? Many cultures leave coins on the graves as a sign of permanence, and often the type of coin sent a different message. For example, with American veterans of the Vietnam war, a nickel indicated you trained together whereas a dime meant you personally served with that individual.

How are traditional funeral services and celebration of life services different? Traditional services include visitation, funeral service, and committal service, while celebration of life services tend to be more personal and intimate. A celebration of life service is typically held after remains have been care for and allow families, friends, and loved ones to gather and share memories.

Regrief is generally used to describe a child's grief, but it can be used for adults as well. As you continue on your journey through life and experience "big moments" (weddings, graduations, etc.) without your loved one, you may experience "regrief." Even if it's years later, the special occasion can cause you to feel the same grief you felt at the time of your loss.
In these situations, take a moment to acknowledge your grief and reflect on the memories you were able to share with your loved one. Know that they will always be with you in your heart.
