You might feel like if you’ve visited one funeral homes in North Miami, FL and attended one funeral, you’ve seen and attended them all, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Yes, funerals have many traditions and sometimes feel similar to other funeral services, but when you have a loved one pass away yourself, you might want to have something different that feels more unique and personal. Here are a few things you can do to make the funeral suited for your unique loved one.
Make Copies Of A Fav Photo
If you want your guests to have something to remember your loved one by, copy out a favorite photo of them. You can either have it placed inside the bulletin, or even printed on the bulletin so everyone in attendance has a nice picture of your loved one to keep.
Collect Donations For Their Charity
If your loved one always sent donations to a certain charity, or even spent their time volunteering at a certain location, you might want to do something to honor that charity in light of your loved one’s death. You can use the memorial funds that come in or even place an offering basket at the back of the funeral with the charity name on it so everyone knows where the money is going and that it’s in honor of your loved one’s care for that charity.
Play Their Music
If your loved one had a favorite song or band, you could very well play that music in the background of the day. There are many instrumental versions of songs as well so if you want the feel of the song without the distraction of lyrics, that might be an option as well. Choosing outside of the normal funeral music could help the event feel more personalized.
Choose A Eulogist With Care
The person who gives the eulogy is going to be very important to the overall service and how personal it feels. Choose someone who is good at public speaking, knows your loved one pretty well, and is someone you trust with the task. You want them to understand they should bring personality to the tasks and not just cliché things you hear at any funeral. The eulogy is an important part of the funeral service and, when done right, it can make the service stand out among others.
