Our dear friends and families who have experienced the loss of a loved one in the past year faced an even greater burden than their precious loss! They were required to follow State and Local guidelines that placed restrictions on what they as a family, and we as funeral directors, could do to help you cope with your loss and in many cases, celebrate the life of your loved one the way you wanted to. In addition, travel restrictions made it difficult for families to even be together to grieve and celebrate. Let’s pray we never experience anything like this ever again. It was truly hard on our families and on the entire family and staff at Anderson-Goodale. Our standard is to provide the highest level of service we can and work to accomplish whatever wants and needs a family may have. In many cases, the laws and restrictions got in the way. In those cases, the idea of a Memorial may be a perfect opportunity for families to have the kind of opportunity to celebrate the lives of their loved ones.
At Anderson-Goodale, we can make your Memorial Service truly special, even in instances where your loved one’s remains have already had their final disposition. We can display pictures, videos, and very prized and personal possessions of theirs to enhance the personal nature of celebrating their lives. In fact, a delayed service has given families an opportunity to add some additional memorial items and pictures they’ve discovered since the loss of their loved ones. Some families have even created new treasures to become part of the service; from children’s drawings to even an exquisite art piece created by one of our family members in honor of and in memory of his parents. These very moving additions have made these experiences even more special. We welcome families to include as many comforting items as they would like.
We’re already seeing and helping many families accomplish these services and we remain available to do more at our 3 locations. We can help organize a memorial followed by a religious service at our Memorial Homes or a selected place of worship. With our entry into Phase 5 in Illinois, all restrictions have been lifted, so accomplishing a full array of services is possible now. We remain ready to assist you, so please don’t hesitate to call us and request our Memorial Services. We’re very grateful to be able to provide them,without restriction, the Anderson-Goodale way.
