There are many things that families can do today around cremation services in East Windsor, NJ. While some families have a memorial service that feels like a funeral, others have something more celebratory in nature. There are also in-person gatherings and there’s even the option of virtual funeral and memorial services. If you want to honor someone who passed on and the family is having a virtual memorial service, you might not have every attended a service of that type before. How do you act? What do you wear? Here are some details to consider as you prepare for the event. 

Prepare Your Computer In Advance 

Virtual services are most likely going to happen through the computer. You don’t want the time of the service to approach and you are trying to get your computer to turn on as you figure out how to join in on the service. That can be very stressful and you might be late or even miss the service entirely. Well before the service takes place, prepare the computer. Download whatever program you need to join the service and test things out to ensure everything is working properly and ready to go. Then, when the time comes to join the service, it’s simple and easy. 

Choose A Decent Background 

Think about what will show around you when you are shown at the service. You might be on camera during the service and others can see you and your background. You don’t want something crazy going on behind you so choose a blank wall or choose virtual background that blurs out what is behind you to keep things neutral and less distracting. 

Dress Nicely 

While you aren’t at an in person service, if you are going to show, it’s still a good idea to dress nicely. It wouldn’t be very respectful to be in sweatpants and a ragged t-shirt, for example. Dress as if you are attending the service with others because they will be seeing what you wear. 

Have Yourself On Mute 

For the most part, you will probably want yourself muted during the proceedings. If your phone rings, a dog barks, or a child runs through the room, they won’t disrupt the memorial service that way. You can’t always control what happens around you, but even if you get distracted, you can at least prevent that distraction from reaching other people. 

Get Ready If You Are To Speak 

If, as part of the memorial service, people are going to share memories or certain people are asked to speak, you will want to prepare for that. Think about a memory that you hold near and dear that you feel others would appreciate hearing. Even if it’s something you have shared before, it can be special for the family to hear it again.
