Create a Healing Experience
Many options are available based on your personal preferences and the life-long interests of your loved one. In addition to photos, music selections, and special readings, we can now incorporate a moving eco-scape during visitations in one of our family gathering rooms.
We encourage families to think outside the box - If mom made quilts, display them over the pews during a service. If she loved the beach, set up a beach chair and umbrella in her honor. If dad loved popcorn, consider serving it at the visitation. If he was a member of an antique car club, ask his friends to drive their cars to the service.
Dove and eco-friendly balloon releases can be arranged. Bagpipes, harpists and soloists are also a consideration. Giving a perennial flower seed card or a token keepsake to guests can help keep a loved one's memory alive. Talk to your funeral director about your loved one's special interests and they will help you create a meaningful tribute.
