Since September 11, 2001 the people of this country have become more aware of what remembering means to themselves in their own special way. In their own special way is being a survivor, one who has lost a loved one by either the tragedy of 9/11 or the tragedy of illness shortening a young life.

As a survivor is left in shock, he or she begins to remember all that their loved one meant to them, and how sorry we are for ourselves not being able to see, touch, or experience that loved one in our lives.
CNN, MSNBC, Fox and other cable news networks have continuously covered our nations tragedy every day since 9/11 and I’m sure if you tune to them now there may be a story about the loss of someone being an employee of the trade center, a fireman, policeman, or a soldier killed in Afghanistan in the pursuit of terrorism. Of those losses, each family has done some type of tribute of the deceased whether there was a body found or not.

The heroes of Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania knew that other planes had hit the World Trade Center, and the Pentagon and they knew that they had to prevent their plane from crashing in Washington, and their survivors will always cherish their personal cell phone call prior to the crash in which goodbyes were said, tears were shed, and heroes were made, with the plea, “Let’s Roll.”

That act of tribute doesn’t bring that loss back, but it adds meaning to those in pain so that those survivors can go on with their lives knowing that tribute, that memorial service, that funeral service ceremony added personalization and dignity to the loved one’s life and that is what our funeral home and other funeral homes throughout this country do everyday to make loss less painful and meaningful to the families we serve.

Collages of pictures, videos of memories, eulogies of rememberance can all be experienced at a funeral or memorial service, and for those that decide its simplier not to remember that individual they must realize that a funeral is time limited and once decisions are made there are no retakes so make sure you take the time to prearrange a funeral according to your family’s expectations.

Funerals are a service that may not be wanted, but may be what is needed for everyone’s own peace of mind.

Give us a call we’ll help your family every step of the way.
