Grief can be unpredictable, it’s how we learn to live with grief, to live our new normal.

Funeral services don't have to be somber. In fact, seeing the significance of a life lived reminds us all how beautiful and impactful a single life can be. A funeral service helps survivors find meaning and purpose in living, even after the loss of a loved one.

"You will lose someone you can't live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn't seal back up. And you come through. It's like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly, that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp." - Anne Lamott

Most airlines allow cremated remains on board as carry-on or checked baggage, but the container holding the remains must pass through the x-ray machine or it will not be allowed through security. Cremated remains can also be air-shipped as cargo but only by "known shippers." In addition, to transport remains on an airplane you must provide a death or cremation certificate for the cremated remains in order to carry them on board.
