So, in an ongoing kind of way, if you can remember that person, I think that's very helpful in the grieving process. Cemetery representatives help family members set up their Everlasting Memorial. The information can be accessed through the MeM Web site or in kiosks at Spring Grove and its affiliate, Oak Hill Cemetery. A cemetery is based on memories. It's an extension of that, Andrew Conroy, president of Spring Grove Cemetery, says of the MeM Web site.
Cemeteries provide a focal point for people to remember people.
We've got the marker. We've got the space. This is one other avenue where people can express themselves and really honor their loved ones. Creating a memorial for a loved one can be a heart-wrenching experience. The process stirs up memories and can reopen survivors' wounds.
