Personalization
Personalization Services
When searching for ways to personalize a funeral service, 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 & Albums
Photo collages can be arranged on poster boards and displayed on easels for guests to view. Flat-screen televisions or monitors can also be used to showcase photographs in a slideshow throughout the service. In addition, photos can be incorporated into memorial folders, the guest registry book, or even printed directly onto urns, providing a lasting and personal tribute to the loved one.
Videos
A memorial video and/or slideshow is a meaningful way to honor and celebrate your loved one’s life while sharing cherished memories with family and friends. Personalized with photographs, music, and special moments, a memorial video creates a unique tribute that beautifully reflects the life and memories of your loved one.
Artwork
Artwork created by your loved one or pieces created in their memory can be a beautiful and meaningful addition to a funeral or memorial service. Sculptures, paintings, drawings, and other works of art can be thoughtfully displayed throughout the funeral home or featured in a slideshow during the service.
Music
Music can bring comfort, peace, and a sense of familiarity to those gathered to honor a loved one. Live or pre-recorded music can be thoughtfully incorporated into a funeral/memorial service.
There are many ways to personalize a service through music, including creating a recording featuring a loved one’s favorite songs or original compositions. Family members and friends who share a love of music may also choose to perform during the service, offering a deeply personal and heartfelt tribute.
Readings of Poetry, Literature & Scripture
Favorite passages from books, poems, or Scripture can add comfort, wisdom, and meaning to a funeral or memorial service. Readings that held special significance to your loved one can offer a beautiful reflection of their life and beliefs.
Family and friends may also be invited to share a favorite passage, poem, Scripture, or original piece as a personal tribute.
