what is a memorial?
A memorial is a gathering held to honor and remember a loved one when they are no longer physically present, often taking place after a funeral or on a meaningful anniversary. With fewer restrictions, it offers families greater freedom in how they choose to commemorate a life. These events can be held anywhere and may take many forms from intimate ceremonies to larger celebrations and can include music, catering, fundraising, and personal elements that reflect the individual’s spirit. Variations may include: fundraisers, celebration of life events, special anniversaries, tree plantings, ash scattering ceremonies, etc.
