Here are six ways to make a funeral really personal:
1. Play their tunes: Choose music that the person loved and get the tunes playing during the service.
2. Share their stories: Let friends and family tell anecdotes about the person to bring their life story to life.
3. Show off their snaps: Use photos and other mementos to create a display that celebrates their life.
4. Hold it somewhere special: If there’s a place that meant a lot to the person, hold the service there to make it extra personal.
5. Let loved ones get involved: Give friends and family a chance to speak, read a poem, or play music during the service.
6. Make it a celebration: Have a gathering or reception after the service where everyone can bond, reminisce and celebrate the person’s life.
