Personalization

How to Personalize a Service

When remembering special times spent with your loved one, it can help to list notable moments. What will they be remembered for? Their personality, unique traits, hobbies, interests, memberships, education, career, passions, achievements, favorite places, relationships? There are a number of ways that these can be incorporated into a service.

Photos & Slideshows

There are many opportunities to display photos at a funeral service.  Poster boards with photo collages can be placed on easels provided by the funeral home. We have several tables available to display items and photos. 

Tribute Videos

Multiple TV's are available at each location to display slideshows created by the family or funeral home staff.  Slideshows created by our staff may added to your loved one's online obituary. Video keepsakes are available, including DVDs, USBs, and photo books.  These tribute videos can be shared with your family for generations.

Artwork or Other Special Items

Artwork of the deceased or art created in tribute is a beautiful addition to a service. Special items such as cooking utensils, ball caps, leather jackets, service uniforms, trophies, etc.) displayed throughout the funeral home help people learn more about a life that was cherished.

Music

Live or pre-recorded music can be relaxing and comforting to those attending a service. Other ways to incorporate music may include creating a playlist with your loved one's favorite songs. If he or she wrote a song, maybe a recording can be played at the service or someone can perform this at the funeral service.

Readings Of Poetry & Literature

Passages from the deceased’s favorite books or poems that capture his or her life help create a service infused with wisdom and words to remember. You can also invite friends and family members to read passages or poems of their choice or write their own pieces to share.
