One of the options that more people are choosing after the death of a loved one is a celebration of life. A celebration of life can allow you to honor the life of the person who died without only focusing on their passing. If your loved one was someone who did not like somber events and who would not have wanted something like a traditional funeral or memorial service, this can be a good idea. If you have never planned one of these services before, there are some tips that providers of cremation services in Philadelphia, PA<\/a> want you to know.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do take some time to think about the location. Although for funerals and memorials the funeral home or place of worship can be good choices, that is not the case with a celebration of life. You want to offer your loved one a location that meant something to them. For example, if your loved one enjoyed the outdoors, you can choose to have the celebration of life at the beach or in a park.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Remember to let people know it is a celebration of life. You want to make sure that everyone who is invited to the service will come prepared to celebrate and not to mourn. You can let people know this in the obituary of your loved one, also letting them know to wear bright clothes or anything else that you want them to keep in mind.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As with any other funerary arrangements you make<\/a>, you want to make sure that you have a clear budget in mind. The budget you have will impact many things, including the location you choose, the number of people you invite, and many other things. You will want to consider the average rates for the options you are thinking about so that you can put together a realistic budget.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You also want to think about the kind of entertainment that you want to have. A celebration of life usually has music and even games. If your loved one enjoyed movies, for example, you may want to think about taking everyone to see a movie or having one playing while the celebration takes place. You want to honor your loved one<\/a> and choosing activities and entertainment that they would have wanted is something to keep in mind.<\/p>\n
