In times of loss, being present for a loved one's farewell is a crucial part of the grieving and healing process. However, it's an unfortunate reality that many people face barriers that prevent them from attending celebrations of life, visitations, or funerals. Whether due to geographical distance, health issues, financial constraints, or other personal reasons, a significant number of loved ones find themselves unable to be physically present to say their goodbyes.
The Challenge: Distance and Travel Limitations
According to recent studies, nearly 30% of people who wish to attend a funeral or memorial service are unable to do so due to travel limitations. This statistic underscores the emotional and psychological impact of being separated from family and friends during such a critical time. The inability to participate in these important rituals can leave individuals feeling isolated, disconnected, and struggling to find closure.
Virtual Visitation: Bridging the Gap
In response to this pressing need, we are proud to introduce our latest upgrade to the Memorial Wall – Virtual Visitation.
This innovative solution utilizes a 8x10 screen to provide a video call experience, allowing those who cannot be physically present to join the service virtually. With Virtual Visitation, callers can see everyone at the scheduled visitation, carry on conversations, and even view the urn or casket, creating a sense of connection and participation.
How Virtual Visitation Works
Virtual Visitation is designed to be user-friendly and accessible. Here’s how it works:
Scheduling: Families can schedule a virtual visitation at a time that accommodates the visitation, funeral and/or celebration of life schedule.
Connection: Using the 8x10 screen, remote attendees can join the service via a secure video call link.
Interaction: Virtual visitors can see and interact with those present at the service, share memories, offer condolences, and be part of the conversations.
Viewing: The camera setup ensures that remote attendees can see the urn or casket, allowing them to feel more connected to the proceedings.
Changing the Farewell Experience
Virtual Visitation is transforming how we experience farewells. By leveraging technology, we are breaking down the barriers that prevent loved ones from being together during these significant moments. This innovation ensures that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, can participate in the celebration of life and support one another through the grieving process.
Why Choose Virtual Visitation?
Inclusivity: Ensures that no one is left out due to travel or health restrictions.
Connection: Provides a real-time, interactive experience that brings people together.

A Personal Touch in a Digital Age
While technology can never replace the warmth of a hug or the comfort of a physical presence, Virtual Visitation offers a valuable alternative for those who cannot be there in person. It allows families to maintain their bonds and support each other, no matter where they are in the world.
