Personalization Services
When seeking ways to personalize a funeral service, it’s important to reflect on the moments you shared and highlight the unique qualities your loved one is remembered for. Consider their hobbies, interests, and the places they cherished. Making a list of their passions, achievements, and shared memories will help shape a meaningful memorial service. Below are some ways to personalize the service to honor their legacy:
Photos and Albums
Displaying photos at a funeral or memorial service is a meaningful way to celebrate your loved one’s life. You can create photo collages on poster boards, or display a slideshow on flat-screen TVs during visitation or before the service begins. Additionally, memorial folders, the registry book, and urns can feature your loved one’s photos as a lasting tribute.
Videos
A DVD video capturing your loved one’s life story is a beautiful and personal way to celebrate their legacy. Personalize it with photos and music that were meaningful to them. This video becomes a keepsake that can be shared with family members for generations, preserving memories for the future.
Artwork
Including artwork created by your loved one or in their honor adds a personal touch to the service. Whether it's sculptures, a slideshow of drawings, or displaying their art at the funeral home, this allows others to connect with the life they cherished. It brings a unique and lasting element to the funeral service.
Music
Whether live or pre-recorded, music plays an important role in creating a soothing atmosphere during the service. Consider compiling a CD with your loved one’s favorite songs or music they created. Musically inclined family or friends can also perform during the service, adding a personal and heartfelt touch to the tribute.
Reading of Poetry & Literature
Reading passages from the deceased’s favorite books, poems, or their own writing is a wonderful way to incorporate their essence into the service. Family and friends can contribute by reading their own chosen pieces or sharing their personal writings, making the service even more meaningful and reflective of your loved one’s spirit.
