I think including photos and memorabilia, that helps family and friends remember those that passed, is an essential part of the ceremony. These services should be joyous where those gathered celebrate the life of the family member/friend that recently passed. I will consider incorporating these tips into the memorial service so that the guests will be able to enjoy the life of our dearest family member and friend.

It’s something I fortunately haven’t had to give much thought, but an unfortunate event of cancer in a loved one has driven me to look into it in order to make things easier on the whole family, should things take a sudden turn for the worst. I love the idea of using the service to celebrate their life more than mourning the loss of it. It’s a beautiful approach!

I love your tip on adding personal touches to the funeral and reception. I think she would love everyone remembering her and seeing the great things she did during her life.
