Through rituals we are able to observe, remember and structure our beliefs and feelings.
Funeral services are an example of a ritual.
They give us guidance and direction that allows us to come together and celebrate life with those who share our loss. Creating your own ritual may seem like a difficult task, but it doesn't have to be. To begin, ask yourself what you are trying to remember or celebrate. For many, a ritual on the anniversary date of the death is valuable. Others find they'd like to create a ritual for the birthday of the deceased.
