Celebrations of life and memorial services are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to the traditional funeral. These days, families are spending less time focusing on the traditional and religious facets of a funeral. Family and friends of the deceased are getting more interested in finding unique and personal ways to celebrate a loved one’s life. A celebration of life is normally held following the cremation or burial of the deceased. Often this occurs days after a loved one passes or weeks later depending on what the deceased wanted. A funeral is usually a somber occasion at which attendees to pay their respects to the person who has passed. Family members may wish for their loved one to be buried as soon as possible depending on traditions and religious beliefs. In most cases, funerals are held one or two weeks after the passing of a loved one.
