Personalization Options

A funeral is an opportunity to celebrate the life and accomplishments of a loved one and an opportunity to reminisce. One way to make this time more special is through personalization. There are many ways to accomplish this. Some ideas include:

• Creating a collage of pictures
• Displaying paintings or drawing that were special to your loved one or your family
• Playing your loved ones favorite type of music in the background
• Playing home videos
• Bringing a dish of your loved ones favorite candy or cookies to share with everyone
• Creating a memorabilia table of things that were important to your loved one
• Burning candles that remind you of your loved one
• Placing special items in the casket, such as letters, photos, stuffed animals or coloring book pictures
  

Bringing in personal items that were important to your loved one, or to you, as a family will initiate memories and conversation. It will also remind you and your family how many lives your loved one touched in his/her unique ways. Surrounding yourself with items that are more familiar and comforting to you and your family may also help you feel more relaxed in the funeral home.

We encourage you to make our home yours.
