When seeking ways to personalize a funeral service, reflect on the moments shared with the individual and strive to accentuate the qualities they are fondly remembered for. Delve into their hobbies, areas of interest, and frequented places. Crafting lists of their passions, accomplishments, and shared memories can be beneficial. These lists can be integrated into the service in various ways:
Numerous options exist for showcasing photos at a funeral service. Poster boards featuring photo collages can be positioned on easels for easy viewing. Flat-screen TV monitors offer the opportunity to display pictures or a slideshow during calling hours or just before the services commence. Additionally, photographs can be printed in memorial folders, registry books, or even on urns.
Creating a DVD video is a beautiful method to commemorate your loved one's life and share their story with others. Personalized with cherished photos and meaningful music, these videos transform into keepsakes that can be treasured by your family for generations to come.
Incorporating artwork of the deceased or pieces created in tribute can add a poignant touch to a service. Sculptures, slideshows featuring drawings, or displaying artwork throughout the funeral home offer guests an opportunity
to delve deeper into the life of the cherished individual.
Live or pre-recorded music can provide solace and comfort to those attending the service. There are various ways music can be incorporated, such as recording a CD featuring the deceased's favorite songs or compositions they wrote, or having musically talented family or friends perform during the funeral service.
Incorporating passages from the deceased’s favorite books or poems that encapsulate the essence of life can enrich the service with profound wisdom and memorable words. Additionally, inviting friends and family members to read selected passages or poems of their choice, or even to share their own written pieces, adds a personal and heartfelt touch to the ceremony.
