For most of the past century, families have honored and memorialized the life of a loved one with a traditional visitation, religious-based memorial service at a funeral home chapel or religious sanctuary and graveside service. Around the world, most funerals have similar traditions and characteristics, but the services are modified to satisfy the cultural and religious beliefs of individual families.
As with most traditions, expectations about funerals change to satisfy lifestyles and desires. Today, people are putting greater emphasis on a “Celebration of a Life," rather than expressing sorrow and mourning at the services of a loved one. Technology has made a direct impact on the way families and friends are choosing to use the technological advances that enable them to tell the story of their loved one via the computer, Internet and television.
As the traditional funeral practice evolves into a “Celebration of Life,” Milward Funeral Directors is prepared to help guide you through the process of presenting memories and artifacts that help to identify the uniqueness of each life.
