The biggest difference between funeral services and memorial services in Brooklyn is that you don’t need a body present at memorial services. You may hold a memorial service after a burial or cremation, for instance. These ceremonies may still include faith-based traditions, if that’s what you want. Whatever memorial service you want, Harmony Funeral Home in Brooklyn makes it happen. Call 718-469-6666 to start planning a memorial service for your loved one.
What Is a Memorial Service?
Memorial services in Brooklyn create a meaningful way to honor the life of someone who has passed. Unlike traditional funerals, many memorials don’t involve the presence of the deceased’s body, and they often take place after a cremation or burial service. A memorial service offers more flexibility, even if it is religious. Hold your memorial service at a Brooklyn funeral home, which quiet provides space to reflect with family and honor your loved one.
Memorial services in Brooklyn don’t require a large budget. Harmony Funeral Home offers a variety of affordable funeral services for memorials tailored to your preferences. Whether you want a small, intimate gathering or a larger, community-centered affair, you focus on expressing your grief while the Brooklyn funeral home takes care of the details.
