While funeral homes in North Miami Beach, FL have a list of various service packages, you might want something more unique for your loved one. Since you are the one planning the services, chances are you knew the person best. You know their personality and what they would appreciate. While you can choose a package, you can also customize it and change it in any way you’d like. Here are a few ways to plan some unique services with the professionals helping you.
One of the things you will want to think about first is the location for the final service. Many people choose a church or the funeral home and those can be wonderful places. While it might feel standard, there are ways you can customize the experience, even when the location is similar. You can also have a cremation or memorial service in a park, a family home, or somewhere more intimate, if you wish.
The music that you use at the service can make a world of difference in how the service feels. If your loved one adored hymns, using them is fitting. If, instead, they liked the Beatles, Elvis, or something else specific, playing those songs is the right way to go. You can also have family members or friends sing tributes or favorite songs to make the service feel even more special and personal.
Most services have flowers included but the types of flowers can help make the location and the service feel that much more personal. If your loved one adored daisies, use those flowers instead of funeral standards. Get things in the colors they liked, or you can decorate with things like balloons or other elements. If you have a lot of things left over, you can always donate bouquets to hospitals and nursing homes to brighten someone else’s day.
Probably the most unique type of service is a celebration of life. When you celebrate a life well lived, it’s more like a party in honor of that person. You can put a theme to it and really bring their personality and style out.
There are no two services that are identical because even if you do exactly the same thing someone else did, you are honoring someone completely different.
