Funerals and Memorials: A Part of Recovery by the APA
A memorial service is an important step in the chain of events that occurs after a death.
For many, it may be difficult because it brings reminders of the loss and fears of the future. Funerals and memorials provide an opportunity to show appreciation for the person, to grieve together, and to make a new beginning. At funerals and memorials, attendees will encounter families as well as the religious and patriotic symbols, music, ritual, and ceremony, the personal effects and the history of the deceased, and will hear about the deceased's place in the family, community, organization, and nation.
The following are important elements in most funerals and memorials.
- Funerals and memorials bring powerful reminders of the humanity of the deceased. Sadness, tearfulness, and anxiety are common feelings.
- Pictures and remembrances from the person's life and favorite objects may be displayed. They are powerful symbols. Pictures and personal possessions may be passed on and an individual's history recounted by survivors. Family, friends, or co-workers may provide details of the person's history, the last time they were together, or their favorite memory.
