Personalization

crafted for you

Tailored Farewells

If you're unsure where to begin with personalizing a funeral, Celebration of Life, or Memorial Reception, start by reflecting on the meaningful moments you shared and the qualities that made your loved one special. Consider their passions, accomplishments, hobbies, and cherished memories as inspiration. These personal touches can be woven throughout the service with meaningful readings, music, photo displays, videos, keepsakes, or shared stories, creating a heartfelt tribute that truly honors the life they lived and brings family and friends together in a meaningful way.

Photos & 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, videos, or a slideshow. Photographs can be printed in the memorial folders, registry book or on urns.

Videos

A DVD video or USB drive 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 service. 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 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.
