Examples of Personalization…

When a parent dies that has young children we provide a memorial book and a desk where friends and relatives can sit and write about their relationship with the deceased and perhaps how that person helped and made a difference in their life. This bound volume is a wonderful and valuable keepsake when the children grow older.

After the death of a young man, we displayed his kayak, skis, and surfboard along with other personal items.

The family of a woman that collected hats had many of them displayed around the room, and in the obituary the family invited eleven women attending the funeral to wear a hat or bonnet.

When a prominent artist died, we turned the room into a gallery of sorts by displaying some of his paintings. We also used the artist’s self portrait, had it miniaturized into a memorial card and printed a poem that the family selected on the reverse side to hand out to those attending.

She loved the Japanese maple trees on her country home, we brought in 15-gallon potted trees and displayed them along with his personal belongings. Our staff later arranged to have the trees planted on their country property.

When an owner of an opera company died, we suggested they bring in some sets and costumes to personalize the service.

For an avid car collector, we suggested that his favorites be parked outside the funeral home, so when everyone arrived for the services they were on display.
