Personal Services
Personalization
When searching for ways to personalize a funeral or memorial ceremony, 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 and albums
There are many opportunities to display photos at a funeral service. Poster boards with photo collages can be placed on easels for display. Flat screen TV monitors can be used to display pictures or a slideshow during viewing times and during the ceremony. Photographs can also be printed in the memorial folders.
Videos
A memorial 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.
Artwork
Artwork of the deceased or art created in tribute is a beautiful addition to a viewing or ceremony. Sculptures, a slideshow of drawings or displaying artwork throughout the funeral home helps people learn more about a life that was cherished.
Music
Live or pre-recorded music can be relaxing and comforting to those who have come to the viewing or ceremony. Music can say much more than words during this time. Music can be very powerful, reflective, and emotional. We encourage our families to choose music that is meaningful to them as well as their loved one.
Readings of Poetry & Literature
Passages from the deceased’s favorite books or poems that capture the essence of life help create a ceremony infused with wisdom and words to remember. You can also invite friends and family members to read passages or poems of their choice or write their own pieces to share.
