read moreAs part of a meaningful celebration of life, family and friends may wish to gather for a special time of remembrance with a balloon release. Releasing balloons helps us say goodbye in a unique way, allowing us to experience greater closure and healing as we "release" our emotions and grief. To make it more personal, write messages of hope and love on the balloons before releasing them. Honoring a veteran or a fallen member of the armed forces with military rites is a time-honored tradition. We can coordinate with the local honor guard and Veterans Affairs office to feature a draped flag over your loved one's casket or urn, the folding and presentation of the flag to the next of kin, the firing of a salute, or any other appropriate tribute to an eligible veteran or active duty service member.

Does it matter what I wear? Can I bring the children? What should I say to the family of the deceased? When should I visit? Darling-Mouser Funeral Home offers guidance on the proper etiquette of visitations and funerals, so you'll feel more comfortable and prepared for attending services. It can be difficult to know what to say to the family of the deceased to express your sympathy.

For eligible veterans that died on or after Nov. 1, 1990, VA may also provide a headstone or marker for graves that are already marked with a private headstone or marker. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).

Grief isn't something you process overnight; in some ways, it's something you may never fully "get over." Instead, grief is a journey, and it can encompass a range of moods and reactions. No matter how your grief journey unfolds, always remember: You are not alone in this season of trial.
