Traditional funerals following a typical pattern are more often replaced by private funeral services. As a funeral professional, you have the opportunity to help your client's family create services that truly reflect the unique character of the life that is commemorated. There are many options available to do this, and here we will discuss the five most impactful ones that will build your funeral home as a progressive business, while satisfying your client's family in their desire to celebrate the lives and individualism of their loved ones.
A thorough representation of the deceased is essential for successful personal service. One of the most meaningful ways to do this is to honor the deceased with a video award. Includes photos that feature life stories and major milestones and are set to music chosen by the family, video attributes can be played during a visit or warning service. Simple software can help you make expert presentations that touch and will set the tone of the service.
Unique mementos, such as candles that are adjusted to photos and themes that suit the deceased can be available for families or all participants. With the ability to keep memories alive, they are perfect for providing comfort during a warning or holiday. Other typical mementos are personalized ornaments, bookmarks, pendants, and holiday commemorative jewelry. A touchstone that can be accessed in real time brings solace and resumes memory.
Use decorations during a visit or memorial service to focus on the deceased's hobbies and desires. Valuable books from loyal readers can be displayed, golf clubs for golfers, blankets made by quilter, even cakes for bakers. Create an atmosphere that faithfully characterizes the deceased; mourners will find comfort in these objects that remember the interests of their loved ones for life.
The Memorial website allows friends and family to leave memories, photos and videos. Really representing the personalities of people who have died and are almost immortal, they can be shared with everyone or limited to a few people. An online tribute like this can be visited anytime and updated whenever desired. The family might want to post tribute videos to this type of website, or even a funeral webcast recorded - with password encryption for privacy.
Commemorative folders and other pieces of personalized funeral stationery provide an extraordinary vehicle for describing life's milestones, photos, jokes, favorite song lyrics, and prayers of the deceased. Applying the theme symbolizes it further customizing the precious celebration of life. Again, given to participants to take home to strengthen the personal nature of the funeral service.
