It was nice that we had my mom's memorial service in one of the funeral parlor chapels. The minister concentrated on celebrating her life and reassuring us (her family). The entire service, really, was a celebration of who my mother was as a person. It was helpful in gaining closure, since my mom was cremated, as she wished.
Also, although I wore black pants as a sign of respect, I had on a nice, bright green striped shirt for the service. I think my mom would have liked that. I know I did.
