Personal Services
When searching for ways to personalize a funeral service, remember the moments you spent with the person and try to highlight the qualities that she or he are remembered for. Consider hobbies, subjects of interest and places where the person spent much of his or her time. It can help to make lists of their passions, achievements and memories you shared together. There are a number of ways that these lists can be incorporated into a service:
Photos & Albums
Tribute Videos
Music & Artwork
Readings of Poetry & Literature
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. 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
Artwork of the deceased or art created in tribute is a beautiful addition to a service. Live or pre-recorded music can be relaxing and comforting to those who have come to the service.
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.
