Can be personalized to allow mourners to remember and honor their loved one in ways that are special and meaningful
 

Serves as a central gathering place for family and friends to give emotional and physical support to one another
 

Provides closure for the bereaved
 

Confirms the reality and finality of the death
 

Encourages mourners to face the pain of their loss and express their thoughts and feelings
