One of the best ways to make a memorial service memorable is to personalize the service. There are a variety of loving, creative, and thoughtful ways this can be done – all of which take a little planning and execution. With the help of friends, family and loved ones, you can create a memorial service that will leave an impression.
Here are some suggestions:
Personalized Music
Create a soundtrack for the service that features favorite songs of the deceased. Options could include original recordings, instrumental versions, or even live performances.
Display A favorite Expression or Quote
It seems like we all have our favorite quotes or expressions, whether they come from a movie, TV show, or public figure. What was your loved one known for saying? Print it on a plaque or poster and display it with the loved one given credit for the quote.
Coordinate Flowers
Request a certain type of flower to be given in sympathy. If the deceased had a favorite color, the colors of a sports team, you could also coordinate sympathy flowers in those colors. Imagine the impact of a room of flowers in team colors.
Have a Memory Table
The table could contain some of the loved one’s favorite or most cherished personal items or photos. Items could include his or her favorite coffee cup, key chain, wallet photos, and other items with meaning. It could even include items that belonged to his or her parents or grandparents. A brief written description could be included to better identify items and their significance.
Produce a Video
A video or continuously running slide show of photos and images could be shown for visitors to view at will. The video wouldn’t even need to include sound or music if you need to save some time.
Create a Collage of Photos and Memorabilia
Construct a collage that may contain photos, newspaper clippings, ticket stubs, or other printed material of significance.
