Cremation services in Des Moines, IA<\/a> allow families to do whatever they want for their loved one. The cremation package<\/a> itself is all the deceased needs. However, many families choose to do a memorial service of some kind. If you know a family that is going through the grieving process after a loved one has passed on, you might want to reach out in support. You would possibly attend the memorial service for their loved one, if they were to have one. But if they don\u2019t have a service, there are still things you can do to support those family friends. Here are a few options to consider.<\/p>\n

Send Food<\/h3>\n

Your friend may have more family in town around the death of their loved one. If everyone lives in the area, they might be spending more time together as a group, even if they aren\u2019t having a memorial service. You can send food to your friend to help them feed themselves and other family members during this hard time. They might not feel like cooking, but their body still has needs. They can also act like a good host for family members that are in the area.<\/p>\n

Send Flowers Or Plants<\/h3>\n

While flowers are a popular thing to send to a memorial service, you don\u2019t have to send them to the service itself. If the family doesn\u2019t have a service, you can still send flowers to them at their home. You could also send a plant, like a peace lily, that can help remind them of their loved one, and of your support. The plant is something they will care for over the years and that can help them to remember their loved one further.<\/p>\n

Dedicate A Tree<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s nice to put new life into the world when someone passes on. You can dedicate a tree to the person who died or, you can send the family a gift card to an area landscaping company. They can choose a tree and plant it themselves on family ground so they have something close by to remember their loved one by.<\/p>\n

Tribute Online<\/h3>\n

If your friend posted an obituary of their loved one, it\u2019s okay for you to share it since they have already made it public. You\"Cremation can also add your own words. You might share a story that you remember about that person or what a good parent you know they were based on how your friend turned out. That tribute is something special that can be very touching to your friend.<\/p>\n
