Make it personal
Tailored Farewells
When looking to personalize a funeral service, think about the meaningful moments you shared and the qualities that made your loved one unique. Reflect on their hobbies, interests, and the places they cherished most. Creating a list of their passions, accomplishments, and special memories can be a helpful starting point. These personal details can be thoughtfully woven into the service through readings, displays, music, or shared stories, creating a tribute that truly reflects the life they lived.
Personalized Services
To create a meaningful and personal service, think about the moments you shared and what made your loved one special. Consider their interests, favorite places, and lasting qualities. Listing memories and achievements can help shape a tribute that truly reflects their life.
Photos & Albums
There are many opportunities to display photos at a funeral service. Poster boards with photo collages can be placed on easels for display. Flat screen TV monitors can be used to display pictures, videos, or a slideshow. Photographs can be printed in the memorial folders, registry book or on urns.
Tribute Videos
A DVD video is a wonderful way to share your loved one’s life with others. It can be personalized with your special photos and music. These videos become keepsakes that you can share with your family for generations.
Music & Artwork
A graveside or committal service is usually held immediately after the funeral and offers a meaningful moment of closure. Whether you prefer an intimate gathering or a larger group of family and friends, this service can be tailored to reflect what feels most personal and fitting for your loved one.
Readings of Poetry & Literature
Passages from the deceased’s favorite books or poems that capture the essence of life help create a service infused with wisdom and words to remember. You can also invite friends and family members to read passages or poems of their choice or write their own pieces to share.
