There are many unique memorial service ideas that can be personalized into a special final tribute to celebrate a family member or close friend that has passed on.<\/p>\n<p>A memorial service differs from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/2018\/03\/01\/4-types-funeral-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">funeral service<\/a> in that the deceased\u2019s body is not present during the ceremony.

You can also start a new volunteer event (e.g. a walk\/run fundraiser, helping the sick and elderly), and schedule it as an annual memorial service in your loved one\u2019s name.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #14377d;\">Scattering Ceremony <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/2018\/08\/07\/all-you-need-to-know-about-cremation-costs-and-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">After a cremation<\/a>, some families choose to scatter the cremated ashes of their loved one in a meaningful location. Holding an ash-scattering ceremony is a creative memorial service idea and there are a wide variety of inspirational options available depending on the location (beach, national park, cemetery scatter garden). A scattering ceremony is also a symbolic affair which can help families cope with the grief of losing a loved one.\r\n    <div class=\"single-content-banner\">\r\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/funeralocity.com\/cremationclub\" class=\"single-content-banner__image\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_2_desktop.png\" alt=\"Advanced directive planning - for peace of mind\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"tablet\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_2_tablet.png\" alt=\"Advanced directive planning - for peace of mind\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mobile\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_2_mobile.png\" alt=\"Advanced directive planning - for peace of mind\">\r\n                <\/a>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #14377d;\">Display Collectibles<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/2019\/02\/19\/10-special-memorial-service-ideas-for-loved-ones\/collection\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2271\"><img width=\"760\" height=\"390\" data-public-id=\"Collection\/Collection.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-post-2265 wp-image-2271\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/funeralocity\/images\/w_760,h_390,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1599019891\/Collection\/Collection.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"Memorial Service - Display Collectibles - Funeralocity\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1599019891\" data-seo=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/funeralocity\/images\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1599019891\/Collection\/Collection.jpg?_i=AA 760w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/funeralocity\/images\/w_300,h_154,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1599019891\/Collection\/Collection.jpg?_i=AA 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIf the deceased had a special collection of items, there are many inventive ways to display the collectibles at the memorial service.
