Music

Pre-recorded or live music provides a moving addition that enhances a service. Here are some ideas:

* Play music that the deceased personally wrote or performed

* Hire musicians to play live music

* Create a mix of your loved one’s favorite music

Keepsakes

Offering small, personalized keepsakes to guests can provide comfort to those who attend the service. They should reflect the interests of the deceased. For example, someone who loved to garden can be honored by offering seeds to guests to brighten their own home gardens. These keepsakes can be a lasting reminder of their loved one.

Memories

Aside from inviting guests to write their name on a book, why not create a space where guests can share detailed condolences? Encourage them to share their thoughts and memories for families to treasure. Some services use a large photo board or memory stones. This will help make everyone feel involved, and will give families a comforting tribute to the deceased.

A personalized service touches families and friends and celebrates a unique life lived. We encourage you to get in touch with us to learn more about how to plan a personalized service.
