When searching for ways to personalize a funeral service, the key lies in crafting a poignant tribute that authentically reflects the unique essence of the individual being remembered. As you embark on this journey of remembrance, delve into the treasury of shared moments, cherished experiences, and the distinctive qualities that defined their character.
Consider the tapestry of their life, woven with threads of hobbies, passions, and areas of interest that brought them joy and fulfillment. By celebrating these facets, you not only pay homage to their individuality but also provide a comforting and meaningful experience for those in attendance.
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 calling hours or just prior to the services. Photographs can be printed in the memorial folders, registry book or on urns.
Live or pre-recorded music can be relaxing and comforting to those who have come to the service. Some other ways music can be used, is to record a CD with the deceased’s favorite songs or songs that he or she wrote or to have musically inclined family or friends perform at the funeral service.
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. You can also invite friends and family members to read passages or poems of their choice or write their own pieces to share.
