Funeral directors can help to put together, organise and manage your loved one’s funeral so that you are able to mourn as stress-free as possible, whilst providing compassionate support. What’s brilliant about funeral directors is that they can assist with bringing your special memorial service ideas to life. This article explores some unique ideas to help you celebrate the life of your passed loved one.

Dedicate a star

Why not gather your loved one’s friends and family to remember them in an after-dark celebration, where you look up at their star twinkling in the night sky? There are various companies available that will sell you a star package which includes the star’s telescopic coordinates. The company will print your loved one’s name on these coordinates in a special frame. This is a beautiful commemoration of your loved one.

Plant a tree

Holding a ceremony whereby you plant a tree is a beautiful way to memory a loved one which positively impacts the environment. What makes this idea so special is that the tree can act as a place for friends and family to visit for years to come to remember the deceased.

Pick a theme unique to your loved one

Perhaps your loved one was a huge Harry Potter fan, or they loved Disney. Why not get your guests to dress up and embrace the deceased’s passions to remember what made them so unique and special? Bring the spirit of your loved one back to life through the use of a fun theme.

Create a photo display

You could design a collage of your loved one’s life by displaying a board filled with photos and memorabilia highlighting their happiest moments in life. Get all of your guests involved, by asking everyone to contribute some photos they have of your loved one, this will bring everyone together.
