WHAT TYPE OF SERVICE IS HELD FOR A DECEASED PERSON WHEN NO BODY IS RECOVERED FOR A VIEWING?
This is an excellent question in light of recent tragedies. When there are no remains available due to a non-recoverable situation, a memorial service may be held, at our chapel, a church, or some other location. The service can be like any other service, with music, scripture, a eulogy, a photo memory board, video presentation, or any other tribute which could be performed with a body present. Some families may elect to have a casket or urn present, which may be buried in a grave, and marked with a monument, giving the family a place to visit, grieve, and remember.
