[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Though DH and I knew he was dying, we never discussed funerals. He was cremated shortly after his death. One of the many changes that came with covid was a move to memorial services held at some later time following a death. With time to think, I decided to hold a memorial event about three months after his death. I was surprised and moved by the number of people who attended. As a result, DH's children and grandchildren can now remember the event, including memories and stories they wouldn't have known otherwise. For myself, I did find the event stressful, but ultimately comforting. I think people should do what they want to do. I'd also suggest remembering that funerals are for the living, and coming together to recognize and grieve a friend can be a powerful, healing experience. [/quote] +1[/quote]
