Personalization Services
When personalizing a funeral service, reflect on the moments you spent with your loved one and highlight the qualities they are remembered for. Consider their hobbies, interests, and favorite places. Make lists of their passions, achievements, and the memories you shared together. These lists can be incorporated into the service in various meaningful ways, such as:
Photos and albums
There are many opportunities to display photos at a funeral service. Photo collages can be arranged on poster boards and placed on easels for display. Flat-screen TV monitors can be used to show pictures or a slideshow during calling hours or just before the service. Photographs can also be printed in memorial folders, registry books, or even on urns.
Videos
A DVD video is a wonderful way to share your loved one’s life with others. Personalize it with special photos and music to create a touching tribute. These videos become cherished keepsakes that you can share with your family for generations.
Artwork
Incorporating artwork of the deceased or art created in their tribute adds a beautiful touch to a service. Displaying sculptures, a slideshow of drawings, or various artworks throughout the funeral home helps attendees learn more about and celebrate a cherished life.
Music
Live or pre-recorded music can provide relaxation and comfort to those attending the service. Other ways to incorporate music include creating a CD with the deceased’s favorite songs or songs they wrote, or having musically inclined family or friends perform during the funeral service.
Readings of Poetry & Literature
Passages from the deceased’s favorite books or poems can bring wisdom and memorable words to the service. You can also invite friends and family members to read their chosen passages or poems, or even write their own pieces to share.
