So many families these days are taking the time and spending the money for Celebration of Life services. So this begs the question, “why have a service?” Here are a few reasons from a minister’s stand point.
-
Chance to mourn (which is necessary for emotional health)
-
Honor the good this person has done
-
Places a priority on life
-
Brings family and close friends together
-
Allows for a formal good bye
-
Allows for support of family
-
Offers hope to the living
-
Gives family permission to move on with their lives
