How to Personalize Your Loved One’s Funeral or Memorial Service

Posted by Amherst Funeral and Cremation Services on December 24th, 2020

Holding a funeral or a memorial service is done to help the surviving family members deal with their grief. It can also be a way for the people who love the deceased to gather and pay their last respects to the deceased.

These days, funeral or memorial services are becoming increasingly personalized. It’s a great way to showcase the life that the deceased has lived and make the memorial or funeral service less somber.

If you are planning to hold a funeral or memorial service, make sure you let the Coquitlam funeral home know. Talk to the people over at the funeral home in Coquitlam and discuss what kind of funeral service you want to hold.

You can also hold the service at the Coquitlam funeral home instead. Alternatively, you can get the help of the funeral home in Coquitlam to make arrangements at a special location, especially for those who opted for cremation for their deceased loved one.

These are some ideas that you can try to make the funeral or memorial service more personal:

  1. Design the venue with the photos of the deceased

Print blow-up photos or tarpaulins of the deceased and decorate the funeral service venue with that. You can cut them up on walls or the entryway. Choose the best photos of the deceased. That way, the people attending will remember how the deceased looked like when he or she was still on this earth.

  1. Play the favorite songs of the deceased

Funeral service usually requires songs to be played. You can create a playlist with the favorite songs of the deceased and ask the funeral director to play them.

You can also choose one favorite song of the deceased and play that live during the funeral service. You can hire people to sing or play instruments. If you have friends or relatives who can play musical instruments or sing, you can also ask them if they can play the song at the funeral.

  1. Create a memory board

Ask the funeral director to set up a memory board. It can be a big corkboard or a wire grid. People attending the funeral can write down their favorite memory of the deceased on a paper and then hang it on the wire grid or pin it on the corkboard. After the funeral, the family members can collect these letters or notes and put them in a memory box.

  1. Display their favorite things

Does the deceased have favorite things or collections? You can put a shelf and display these things.

It’s a good idea to look for a good funeral home in Coquitlam such as Amherst that will help you make all these arrangements and ensure that your loved one’s funeral service is memorable.
