How can I personalize a funeral service?

One way is to bring personal items into the funeral home to be displayed in or near the casket. Example:  An artist could have their artwork displayed. A frequent golfer might have a favorite putter placed in the casket. A person who quilted could have the casket draped with a quilt they made. An keen hunter or fisherman might have some of their personal effects or trophies displayed on a memory table. A person’s favorite rocking chair could be brought to the funeral home and placed next to the casket. Also, if the person was an avid baker, their favorite treats could be baked and distributed to guests or the recipes could be printed and handed out.

  • I liked when you said that by bringing personal items to the funeral home you could make your funeral more personal. I can see that making sure you consult with the funeral home you want to hire ahead of time can help you find out what you can do. I would want to make sure I find a place that ahs the space to accommodate my guests and that offer a good setting for the service.
