The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

My service includes a visit to find out all about your loved one; writing and delivering a service every bit as meaningful and beautiful as a more traditional service. I  also advise on planning your day, where to get supplies for a memorial table and floral tributes etc. 

Of course. I can help you create a beautiful memorial service anywhere you wish. 

Of course. I will also liaise with the venue to arrange the best room layout and ensure everything goes smoothly. 

a few days....or a few years! there is literally no time limit and some people choose to hold a memorial service on a significant date - a birthday, an anniversary, or exactly one year after they died for example. 

Definitely. A memorial service is about memories of your loved one, and although it is beautiful to have them close by when it happens, it is not necessary.

Absolutely not. You can take as long as you need, and pay your respects in any way you wish. 

The straight answer to this is - its very unusual, but possible at an extra cost. Direct cremations usually take place at times more traditional funerals don't happen, or at specialist cremation site with no facilities for  mourners. A much better option is to hold a private memorial service once you have received the ashes, at a place and time which is meaningful and convenient to you.
