Your loved one was one-of-a-kind. Honor their life and their memory by making their funeral arrangements one-of-a-kind as well. Here are eight ways to make your funeral arrangements perfectly reflect the loved one you are wanting to remember.
8 Ways to Honor the Personality of the Departed
1. Showcase Their Collectibles or Hobbies
Did your loved one love super heroes, fishing or a certain sports team? Set out action figures or a fishing pole, or choose flowers in team colors.
2. Play Their Favorite Music
Whether your loved one listened to country, gospel or rock and roll, be sure to incorporate some of their favorite songs into the funeral arrangements.
3. Create a Slide Show
Relive all of your favorite memories with the deceased by sharing a beautiful slide show of their life from birth through old age.
4. Have Guests Share Their Favorite Memories
Alternately, let all of the guests share their favorite memories by providing an open mic as part of the funeral arrangements. People will love sharing their favorite heartfelt and funny moments.
5. Serve Their Favorite Food and Drinks
Did your loved one always eat sandwiches or drink Jager bombs? Serve them at the meal after the service, or take everyone out to the deceased’s favorite restaurant to get them.
6. Create a Monument or Memorial
If your funeral arrangements include cremating your loved one instead of burying them, you will need a place to visit. Plant a tree or build a small stone statue in their honor for a lovely place to visit.
7. Make a Donation in Their Name
Honor your loved one and help others at the same time by making a donation in your loved one’s name. Choose an organization that works to fight the disease they died from or one that helps a cause they cared about deeply.
8. Pass Out Thoughtful Mementos
Give your guests something thoughtful to remember the deceased by. Seedlings, charms and photo candles are all thoughtful memorial gifts to include in the funeral arrangements.
