" Service of Remembrance"

Tukios Websites • July 5, 2008

This December we honor your loved ones that we have had the privilege of caring for over the past year. 2020 has proven to be a year like no other. It is our sincere hope that this virtual service of remembrance will bring you peace and comfort.

My name is Scott Kundinger and I am the Director of Operations for Cress. It is with humble gratitude that I am here to present this program of remembrance to you all.

It is important to us at Cress to take time to remember your loved ones. Although we are unable to be together in person for this program, we hope that you find this time to be one filled with cherished memories and love. We know that the loss of a loved one is felt more during the holidays . Throughout this year, we’ve also learned that loss without the ability to connect with family and friends makes the loss sometimes greater. We dedicate our service to the memory of your loved ones and want you to know that they live on in our hearts forever.

Please join us live on December 20, 2020 at 1:00 pm by pasting the link below to your browser. Feel free to upload a photo or share a story in the chat section of your loved one. The names of those that passed between August 11, 2019 and November 23, 2020 will be shared. Anyone is welcome to join and upload a photo to this service. The link will also be available following the service.

Beginning in March 2021, Cress will begin offering free virtual grief sessions for our family and anyone in the community who needs some support. Watch our website and like us on Facebook for information on this upcoming new program.

Happy Holidays!

Scott

How Should I Prepare for My Funeral Preplanning Meeting?

By Darlene Kohn • December 6, 2024

First, relax. Talking about your funeral plans might make you a little uncomfortable at first but making a plan doesn’t mean you will be using it anytime soon. Your funeral director or advance planner will guide you through the process. Most people get very comfortable in just a few minutes.

It's Not Really a Funeral Plan If It's Not at the Funeral Home

By Darlene Kohn • December 6, 2024

Can I just say that funerals stick in the mind of a loved one years after a death? It’s important that you get it right. Please don’t put your wishes in the drawer with the rest of your files. Oh, and that thing where you tell the kids what you want. That’s not the best either.

Get Your Family Involved in Funeral Planning

By Darlene Kohn • June 21, 2024

When death is near or has just occurred, there are so many things to do and yet there is nothing you can do. You feel helpless. You can’t make the person well or bring them back. But you know you will, very soon, need to make many decisions about the service, the final resting place, the music, food, flowers, donations, clothing and much more. Your mind is racing and oddly enough, at the same time, at a complete standstill. On one hand it feels like it is too soon to do anything. You’re just not ready. But at the same time, you feel the weight of all that is coming.

Who Will Take Care of My Funeral Plans?

It is not uncommon for people to ask themselves, “Since I never had any children, who will take care of my funeral plans?” That is all the more reason to preplan your own funeral!

Preplanning Your Funeral in Your 60’s

By Darlene Kohn • June 10, 2024

According to a National Funeral Directors Association survey, more than half (62.5%) of us expect to participate in making our own funeral arrangements. And yet, less than a quarter of us have actually acted on that impulse. Not really so surprising since making funeral arrangements can literally be the very last thing we do. We can put it off right up to the end!

Should I Go To the Funeral?

By Darlene Kohn • June 10, 2024

Why should you attend a funeral? The presence of family and friends at the funeral is appreciated. We gather to acknowledge a life that was lived. We gather to comfort those for whom life has just been forever changed by the death of someone they loved.

Thinking About Skipping the Funeral?

By Darlene Kohn • June 10, 2024

Are you considering going to a funeral? Will you be a guest or, are you the survivor in charge and deciding if there will even be a funeral? Either way, before you just skip the funeral perhaps you should consider how elephants behave when one of their species dies. Perhaps we have something to learn from Dumbo.
