CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - Throughout our lives, there are many milestones that we plan for – college, weddings, and raising a family. But there’s one many tend to avoid that’s just as important - how we wish to be remembered. Planning for your final arrangements can ease the burden on your loved ones and ensure your wishes are honored.
Speaking with a funeral professional at your local Dignity Memorial providers, like McEwen Funeral Service and Carothers Funeral Home, can help guide you through the many options.
There are several ways people personalize their services, from traditional to unique. Many families are choosing personalized life celebrations that are joyful gatherings that reflect a loved one’s personality and spirit.
Cremation is also a popular option. Families can choose from cremation gardens, memorial benches, private and semi-private estates, glass-front niches, or personalized pedestals and monuments. Even if you keep a loved one’s ashes at home or scatter them somewhere meaningful, creating a lasting tribute in a cemetery gives families a permanent place to visit, remember, and reflect.
