There are lots of things you might do for a loved one after you have cremation services in Des Moines, IA<\/a> for them. You can have a memorial service that feels like a traditional funeral. Or, you can have a service that is more of a life celebration. While any option and style you choose can be honorable, more people are having celebrations to remind themselves of a life well lived. When you decide to go that direction, here are a few options for venues you can consider to have that event.<\/p>\n Celebrations of life are more popular these days and having memorial services of any kind in the family home is also a popular way to go. When you want to keep things small and intimate, your family might feel more comfortable in a house they are familiar with. You can have the event in your loved one\u2019s home, yours, or someone else\u2019s from the family. You might have an open house, perhaps, or something that can be inside and outside at the same time to give you room for those you invite.<\/p>\n If your loved one and the rest of your family attend church, having the celebration in the church can be a nice way to go. You can use the sanctuary or place of worship, or there might be a community area, like a large dining room and kitchen, that you can use instead to give things a lighter feel. Whatever you want to do, a church could be a good location to consider.<\/p>\n The funeral home that you worked with on the cremation can also be a good location for any kind of service you want to have, even a life celebration. They have a variety of spaces available for smaller or larger groups and it\u2019s a good way for you to get extra help on the services you have as the staff will carry out any decisions you make.<\/p>\n Many families also like to have something outside, in nature. That works well for larger groups, or even for small family gatherings. You can have something in a shelter that involves picnic foods, or something that includes yard games. You can take a hike, go on a horseback ride, or do whatever else you feel your loved one and the rest of your family would enjoy. There are endless options for outdoor locations and activities.<\/p>\n You might not think a movie theater would be a good option, but think again. They have giant screens and plenty of seats. You can project old home movies and have a number of different foods available. You can also allow everyone a good seat to see what\u2019s happening and who is speaking in a comfortable manner.<\/p>\n Your local community center is used to hosting events and they might be a great place for a life celebration<\/a> after your loved one\u2019s cremation services in Des Moines, IA as well.
