Unique Funeral Ideas
As a funeral celebrant, I have had the privilege of working with families who have chosen to honor their loved ones in unique and creative ways. While traditional funeral services can provide comfort and closure, there are many ways to personalise a funeral to truly celebrate the life of the deceased.
Here are some unique funeral ideas that families may wish to consider:
Memorial tree planting: Planting a tree in memory of the deceased can be a beautiful way to honor their life and legacy. Family and friends can gather to plant the tree together, and it will continue to grow and flourish in their memory.
Personalised memorial service: Instead of a traditional funeral service, families can create a personalized memorial service that reflects the interests and passions of the deceased. For example, if the person was a music lover, the service could include a concert or musical performance.
Balloon or lantern release: Releasing balloons or lanterns into the sky can be a symbolic way to say goodbye to a loved one. Family and friends can write messages on the balloons or lanterns before releasing them.
Digital memorial: In today's digital age, families can create a digital memorial to honor their loved one. This can include a website, social media page, or online tribute video that allows friends and family from around the world to share memories and condolences.
Celebration of life: Instead of a somber funeral service, families can choose to host a celebration of life. This can be a more lighthearted event that includes food, drinks, and music, and celebrates the happy memories and achievements of the deceased.
These are just a few of the many unique funeral ideas that families can consider when planning a service for their loved one. As a funeral celebrant, I am always open to exploring new ideas and working with families to create a personalised and meaningful tribute.
