A Creative Send-off

People are increasingly accepting unusual and moving funeral ideas. Personalized touches that are one-of-a-kind can be a fitting way to say goodbye to someone special. The funeral homes in Mount Summit, IN will assist you in coming up with unique and thoughtful funeral ideas for your loved ones or your own.

 

Select a Personalized Casket

Some coffin makers specialize in colorful and patterned coffins with a wide variety of designs, including flowers, butterflies, and stars, as well as music-themed designs, national flags, and animals. Some companies will even let you custom-design a coffin with an image of your choice.

 

Customize the Order of Service

The cover could be a collage of various photographs of the deceased person. You could even include captions with each photo to explain where and when it was taken. This will not only look colorful, but it will also serve as a unique keepsake for the mourners to take home. Mourners who are not close friends or family members may not have access to photographs of the deceased, so this is a fitting way to share their memories with everyone in the congregation.

 

Make a Memory Board

Make a collage of photographs to display at the funeral and wake using a freestanding noticeboard. This provides a space for mourners to gather and share memories.

 

Make Use of Your Imagination When It Comes to Transportation

Although black motor hearses are traditional, you may feel that something more unique than a standard funeral car is required. Fortunately, funeral directors are beginning to provide a wider range of transportation options to match your loved one’s personality.

 

Distribute Seed Cards

The card is customizable and includes seeds for guests to grow their plants as a tribute. Forget-me-nots are a popular choice. These small blue flowers are a popular remembrance symbol and are easy to grow and maintain. Tree seedlings are another option that will provide a more permanent memorial.

 

Recycle Funeral Flowers

If you’ve ever organized a funeral, you’ll know that there are often more funeral flowers than you know what to do with, and it’s a shame to throw them away. Some people prefer to disassemble the arrangements and reassemble them into bouquets. These can be given to guests as a thank you for their assistance.

 

Distribute Books

If your loved one was a bookworm, you may be left with a large library for which you can’t find a home. One way for them to share their love of books is to distribute their collection at their funeral; this way, people will have a suitable memento to enjoy in their memory.

 

Consider a Glass Memento

A recent advancement allows artisan glass blowers to incorporate small amounts of ashes into their work, creating an unusual and beautiful tribute.

 

Plan a Fireworks Display

A firework display can be a fitting tribute to someone you remember as bright and beautiful; just make sure to organize it through a qualified display team or follow all safety advice when lighting your fireworks.

 

Don’t Be Worried About Being Colorful

If your loved one had a favorite color, you can request that mourners wear bright colors or an item of that color.
