The decision to cremate a loved one does not end our responsibility to our family and friends. They will be grieving too, and they have all lost a special person in their life that they want to be able to mourn. If a Celebration of Life feels too overwhelming right now, consider picking a date of significance (maybe their birthday) in which to bring everyone together to share memories and love.

We love this Navajo prayer, “When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.”

Cremation tends to be a more cost-effective option compared to traditional burial methods. Cremation costs can vary depending on several factors, such as the location, service provider, additional services chosen, and any associated memorialization options.

"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love." - Washington Irving

The VA only permits graphics on government-furnished headstones or markers that are approved emblems of belief, and the symbols are rendered as simple inscriptions without sculptural relief or coloring other than black. Generally the VA adds a new symbol a few months after receiving a petition from a faith group. To learn more about what faiths are listed, give us a call at 773-434-5200 and we can explore the options.

Regrief is generally used to describe a child's grief, but it can be used for adults as well. As you continue on your journey through life and experience "big moments" (weddings, graduations, etc.) without your loved one, you may experience "regrief." Even if it's years later, the special occasion can cause you to feel the same grief you felt at the time of your loss.
In these situations, take a moment to acknowledge your grief and reflect on the memories you were able to share with your loved one. Know that they will always be with you in your heart.
