Free Memorial Ideas For After Cremation
Cremation services in Orlando, FL are known for being much less costly than other disposition methods. There are far fewer products and services that are necessary when you choose cremation. You don’t have to have a casket, a burial plot, a cemetery headstone, and so on. Those things add up to give clients a much lower cost for the cremation process. However, many families like to pair cremation services with a memorial of some kind. That can be a wonderful way to get closure, say a final goodbye, and honor the person who passed on. But if there is no money left after paying for the cremation, what can you do? Don’t worry—there are lots of free ways to have memorials for your loved one that can really be special. Here are a few to consider:
An Ash Scattering
If you don’t want, or can’t afford, a full-blown traditional memorial service, having something simpler, like an ash scattering can be really nice. Gather your close family and friends at the right location and share memories about your loved one. This ceremony is a wonderful time for people to support one another and to honor your loved one as you give them their final resting place. It doesn’t have to cost a thing and can be very memorable.
A Family Home Service
Which one of your family members has the largest home? Ask them if the family can hold a memorial service there. Invite family over for a meal, sing some songs together, and go around the room, sharing memories and stories. You can lay out a book of pictures of your loved one to pass around and just be there for one another. Other than the food you might want to have, there doesn’t have to be a cost to this, either.
An Online Service
If your family is spread out and it’s hard to gather, you can do some kind of an online service at no cost. Gather virtually for a service where someone might speak, you can listen to a song your loved one likes, and you can all share memories and even pictures. Or, create a website in memory of your loved one where all family can visit at their leisure and post pictures and memories for everyone to enjoy. You can find a way to come together, even despite the miles between you.
