When you are working on cremation services in Skaneateles, NY for a loved one, there are a lot of details you could include. If you want to have a memorial service, for example, you are going to want to get those details in order. If you want an urn to make things more special, you will have to choose that. Whenever someone passes on, people around that family are going to want to do things for them. Sending flowers or bringing food is customary, but perhaps you would like for people to offer a charitable donation instead. You could ask that people donate to whatever charity they feel is right, or you could offer an idea. Here are a few ways to decide on a charity to designate for your loved one’s honor after cremation.

 

What Would Your Loved One Like?

Did your loved one already have a charity they supported? Did they volunteer somewhere? If they already had a passion in some area, it just makes sense to go that direction. If they were a
Big Brother in the Big Brother/Big Sister program, perhaps have people donate to that charity. If they were always spending their weekends helping Habitat For Humanity build houses, that might be a nice way to go. Try to think of something they would have liked you to support.

 

What Did Their Personality Dictate?

If your loved one didn’t have a certain charity that they already supported, at least that you knew about, you might be able to figure out a charity based on their personality. For example, if your loved one never met a dog they didn’t absolutely adore, you might ask that people donate to a local animal shelter. If your loved one adored kids, perhaps you’d like to have people donate to a children’s museum in town. Think about things that made your loved one who they were and have people donate accordingly.

 

Did They Have An Illness?

If your loved one had a certain illness or ailment, you might be able to find a charity pertaining to that and that would make sense for donations. If your loved one passed on after a heart attack, a heart healthy support group or heart research might be a good way to go. If your loved one suffered from cancer, supporting cancer research is nice.

 

What’s Local And Available?

You can donate money to any charity anywhere in the world, but it’s also nice to keep things local, if possible, so you can see the money at work. See what types of charities are around your area and what your loved one might like that is available to you.
