Personalization
Personalization Options for Services
When planning a personalized funeral service, think about the special moments you shared and the qualities that made your loved one unique. Reflect on their hobbies, interests, and favorite places. Making a list of their passions, achievements, and cherished memories can help guide the process. These meaningful details can be incorporated into the service in many heartfelt ways, such as:
Photos & Albums
Photos play a meaningful role in honoring your loved one. Collages can be displayed on poster boards, while flat-screen monitors can showcase slideshows during visitation and before the service. Photographs can also be featured in memorial folders, register books, and even printed on urns.
Videos
A DVD tribute video is a heartfelt way to celebrate your loved one’s life. Personalized with cherished photos and meaningful music, these videos become treasured keepsakes that can be shared and passed down through generations.
Artwork
Artwork created by or in tribute to your loved one adds a meaningful touch to the service. Sculptures, slideshows of drawings, or displays throughout the funeral home provide a unique way to celebrate and share the life that was deeply cherished.
Music
Whether live or pre-recorded, music offers comfort and solace to those attending the service. You might consider creating a CD featuring your loved one’s favorite songs or compositions, or inviting musically talented family and friends to perform, adding a personal and heartfelt touch.
Readings of Poetry & Literature
Sharing passages from your loved one’s favorite books or poems that reflect the essence of life adds depth and meaning to the service. Friends and family can also participate by reading selected passages, poems, or even original pieces they’ve written to honor their memory.
