Cremation Service Custom Requests

July 15, 2019 • Teri Vila-Caballero

There’s no such thing as cremation services in Key Biscayne, FL that are identical. Even if you have the exact same cremation service as someone else already had, it’s for a different person and includes different mourners. That alone makes it customized and different. But if you want to customize your loved one’s cremation services even further, your funeral home can help you do just that. Here are some custom requests that funeral homes often hear as people plan their loved one’s final services:

Specialized Urns

Whatever type of cremation you choose with whatever service you want around it, the funeral home can provide a simple container for the cremains. However, most families like to find an urn of their choosing for their loved one to customize the process. They might choose something in a certain color, something with their name engraved on it, or something elegant and classy to place within their home. Funeral homes offer urn options, but you can also get them from any other vendor. The funeral home can help point you in the right direction if you know what you want.

Service Style

Funerals are generally funerals, but cremation services are different. They can have any style you want to them. You can have a memorial service that feels like a funeral or a celebration of life. You can also have something casual, like an ash scattering, or even a gathering in a park or someone’s house. Using the service style to customize is a huge benefit of cremation services in general.

Music And Readings

Many memorial services have music included as well as readings. The choices you make here can give the entire service a unique feel and touch. You could choose favorite hymns, pop songs, or classical music. Whatever your loved one enjoyed, and your family will like can help ease the moment and remind everyone of your loved one. The readings can be poems, scriptures, parts of letters your loved one wrote, or anything else. These items take a standard cremation service and put a unique and customized twist on it.

Speakers

The person or people you choose to speak at the cremation service will also make it feel customized. Some people just want a eulogy, which is given by one individual. Others will do more of an open mic time where anyone can share a memory, a reading, or a thought. Whatever you do, it will feel special and unique to your loved one.
