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.

Cemetery etiquette is something everyone should practice.
DON’T: play loud music in cars, run and yell, remain in the cemetery after dark, drive on the grass, or allow your pets to run freely.

Funeral service: A formal ceremony that is based on the religious and cultural beliefs of the deceased. This type of service usually takes place within a few days of the death, at the home of the deceased, in a funeral home, or a church.
Memorial Service: A ceremony for celebrating or remembering the life of a person who has died. It often takes place after the body has been buried or cremated.
Committal Service: A brief ritual, often involving prayer. A committal service takes place at the graveside following a funeral, or in the case of cremation, in the cremation chapel.
Visitation: An event hosted in order to allow friends and family of the deceased to visit and express sympathy. Family visitations can provide family and friends with the opportunity to share their grief with one another in a more personal setting.
What are YOUR service preferences, whether you are attending or planning for your own?

“As I grow older, much older, I will experience many things, and I will hit rock bottom again and again. Again and again I will suffer; again and again I will get back on my feet. I will not be defeated. I won't let my spirit be destroyed.”
- Banana Yoshimoto, Kitchen
