A Service to Remember

Personalization Services

Honoring lives and creating a “Service to Remember” is the essence of an uplifting and memorable service. Recognizing what made your loved one unique and special, and celebrating those details is our passion. We will provide you with a tasteful and dignified service that will bring you comfort – that is our promise. There are a number of ways that the below personal elements can be included to help make a Service to Remember:

Photos & Slideshow

Laughter, tears, and joy – bringing people together. This is what photos can do and provide an opportunity for remembering and honoring. Flat screen TV monitors throughout the funeral home display a slideshow of family pictures during Visitation or before the Funeral Service or Funeral Mass, and can be posted online for family and friends to remember.

Collage

One of the ways we set ourselves apart – We do this for you. Just supply the photos and we will take care of the rest, bringing your family photos together into a beautiful montage of memories. One less worry for you and a special remembrance for after the services.

Music

Where words fail, music speaks - including a favorite song before, during or after the services can be a time of comfort and joy to remember your loved one. We can help select an appropriate song to remember your loved one. Or, make a playlist of favorite music to be played during the Visitation or Wake for all to enjoy.

Beautiful Custom Printed Keepsakes and Mementos

Bringing elements of life together and celebrating them in ways that are meaningful is what makes a service special and memorable. We often include photographs in the printed program, register book, memory board, recipe cards, and many other uplifting printed keepsakes.

Memory Table

We can create a memory table of special mementos, photographs or significant items from your loved one’s life that will bring you comfort. With a special touch and tasteful design, a memory table serves as a focal point for guests and encourages them to remember and share the impact made on their lives.

Framed Photographs

Displaying favorite photos can bring a smile, and often laughter to those around us. You are welcome to bring awards, certificates, and photos to display during the services.

Bagpiper

A bagpiper can reconnect family to their Irish or Scottish ancestry and bring comfort to the family through traditional melodies. Generally played before and after the Funeral Service or Mass, the bagpiper will also play at the cemetery with an uplifting final song.

Artwork

Paintings, collages, Afghans, or artwork created by your loved one brings a very personal touch to a tribute and is a fitting addition to a service. Displayed with honor and appropriate respect, your loved one’s creative expression is sure to be a heartfelt tribute.
