Description: At times of death and grief, the task of planning last rites often falls to survivors who are poorly prepared to think about a memorial service, especially if they are unaffiliated with formal religious traditions, alienated from their families, or simply uncertain about how to proceed without the auspices of church or synagogue. Faced with the awkwardness of the situation and the pain of grief, many people opt for no service at all. But in denying death in this way, grief is prolonged rather than assuaged.

Remembering Well invites bereaved individuals, clergy, funeral professionals, counselors, and hospice workers to consider a variety of ways to conduct a sensitive and appropriate ritual to honor and remember someone who has died. It suggests practical ways to compose a service and shows how to create holy space through prayer, meditation, candles, and readings. Drawing examples and stories from her experience, the author discusses how to handle the decisions that accompany a death, deal with the circumstances around difficult deaths such as suicide, and design rituals for commemorating a loved one on anniversaries and holidays. Sample memorial services give readers specific help in thinking about the kind of ceremony they wish to create.
