Each and every family that loses someone and has to go through the terrible ordeal of grief and loss should be able to celebrate their loved ones in their own special way. Having a personalised cremation service that allows for flexibility is a great way to ensure that the surviving family and friends find things tasteful, but it also honours the final wishes of the newly departed.
Many funeral directors will offer your family a service that is similar to that of everyone else. And while these may be cheap to have, this shouldn’t be a time when resorting to a conveyor-belt style service. Families should want something to remember the person they lost and find a way in which they can do that without putting themselves in financial dire straits.
Remembrance Funerals can offer low cost funerals and cremation services that will give families peace of mind in knowing their loved one is cared for and looked after, but that their wishes are respected in the best way possible.
Personalising the Cremation
There are a number of ways in which wishes can be adhered to but still can be affordable as a low cost funeral or service. May people will often use media such as videos or slideshows to show your loved one during their lifetime. This can be a really wholesome way for all the family to get involved as many people may have new pictures that reflect a laugh, a smile, or a mood.
Having items or objects that your dearly departed loved on display is a nice way to share a part of them with everyone else. Treasured personal items by those who have been lost will give everyone fond memories of them and their hobbies. Having ashes scattered at places that were frequently visited by the departed. It also lets people be part of the scattering, giving them some closure during this difficult time.
Here are some more ideas that can be done easily but can also mean an awful lot to friends and family when saying goodbye:
- Bringing local flowers from your area, garden, or local park.
- Decorate the coffin with items from the person’s past. Perhaps a favourite sports team or a country flag if they were proud of heritage.
- Choose music that has personal memories for the family.
- Create a remembrance book and invite guests to share memories.
