Celebration of life ceremonies becoming more popular, compared to traditional funeral services

When a person dies, the traditional practice is to have some sort of funeral service, either at a church or at a funeral home.  Often times, there is a wake for the deceased the night before.  These traditional services, with black suits, quiet church music, and people gathered around a casket or an urn is okay for some, but it is not favorable for others. Many people find these traditional types of services to be heavy, sad, and grief-filled.  Sometimes mourning a life just doesn’t feel right. Life should be celebrated. It is a special day when people who loved a person gather together to celebrate their life, happily, and remember the person as they were…alive, and vibrant.

Funerals should involve more than just mourning those we’ve lost; it should be a celebration of how grateful we were to have them in our lives.  Think of that favorite place you spent with your loved one, about the music and food that you shared, but image all of your friends and family re-living those same precious memories together.

Now you can have a funeral service that celebrates your loved one’s life at a place that has meaning to you.   A Classic Touch Celebration was founded with the purpose of providing celebration of life services to those people who do not want traditional funeral services but instead seek a more upbeat, celebratory type of service for their loved ones.  These services can involve either the cremated remains (in an urn) of the deceased or no remains at all (a memorial service) and can take place at location of the family’s choosing (a park, historic building, function hall, the ocean, someone’s home, or elsewhere).  They are committed to providing an appropriately fitting tribute for people’s loved ones, at a place and in a manner that the family feels more accurately reflects the life that was lived.

A Classic Touch Celebration, Inc. creates and coordinates the ultimate celebration of life services. They understand how stressful coordinating these services can be, so they do everything, including arranging the clergy, food, music, flowers, video tributes, various release ceremonies, and memorial gifts at various locations, without the stress families face in planning, organizing, and running these types of ceremonies themselves. 

Families may wish to host a celebration of life ceremony in the days, weeks, or months following the passing of their loved one.  Some families also host these celebrations on an anniversary of their loved one’s passing, on their birthday, or on some other day of significance (Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, etc.). 

When planning a service for your departed loved one, consider a celebration of life service. Each person is different.  They have different passions and different loves.  So why should every funeral be the same?  Remember, it’s about the journey!
