PERSONALIZATION
Incorporating your loved one's interests into a service is another
way to pay tribute. Here are some examples of how you can tailor a
memorial to a specific hobby:
- The visitation of an avid stamp collector could
be turned into a gallery, with favorite stamps displayed.
- An avid Harley rider could have his or her bike
brought into the visitation room with riding gear placed around it.
- For an environmentalist a green burial could be
arranged with a catered organic lunch to follow.
- At the service of a car collector, a favorite
Corvette or Model A car could be parked at the funeral home entrance.
- For a book lover, a display of favorites gives a
reception the feel of a cozy library.
- For the much admired cook, a favorite dish could
be served at the visitation with the "secret" recipe handed out as a
take-home memento.
- A gardener or landscape architect could be
surrounded by favorite flowers and plants, with seeds for a favorite
flower given out as take home gifts.
