Planning a funeral can be confusing and frustrating for some if they've never had to go through it before. Choosing between the funeral homes in Canton Township, MI, and picking the details can feel like a daunting task. And because you want to create a truly authentic event, it can be essential to have details that reflect the loved one's life, so we have listed a few ideas that are popular options to incorporate into the service.

 


Give a Eulogy

 

One great way to celebrate the individual is to tell their life story in a eulogy reading. You can include items in the document like achievements they accomplished with hobbies or activities they enjoyed. Milestones around their career and personal life or summarize their experiences. The eulogy can be a great way to highlight what made them an essential part of others' lives and truly honor them.

 


Serve a Favorite Meal

 

Creating a meal service around their favorite food can be another way to honor them. Whether you have a fully catered reception or a simple dessert with coffee and tea service, offering the attendees the type of food the individual loved can be another way to reflect on who they were and create a sense of connection.

 


Create a Tribute

 

Video memorial tributes are becoming a popular addition to these events. The video can be made up of images or photos, video clippings, or you can even have other individuals tell personal stories about the loved one. Video tribute gives a chance for others to truly reflect on the loved one's life and the joy they brought into other worlds.

 


Play Songs They Loved

 

Music can be a healing choice to provide at the event. If the loved one had a favorite artist or style, you could create a playlist; they can be run during the event as a personal touch in the background.

 


Choose a Theme

 

Some individuals love themes, and whether this is around holidays or specific hobbies, this could also be incorporated into the event. Whether it's wearing particular colors or even giving an option to dress and costume to help honor them, it can be an important way to embrace who they were and remember something they truly enjoyed.

 


Set Off Fireworks

 

If you're having a celebration of life, you might consider purchasing some fireworks for the end of services. This can create an uplifting experience, and there are even companies that will incorporate the cremated remains into the fireworks to create a truly spectacular sendoff.
