Funerals tell a story of a life lived, so how would you tell yours?

Funerals tell a story of a life lived, so how would you tell yours?

In this day and age, personalised funerals have become a standard, rather than a preference, with more and more people pre-planning and pre-paying for their own funeral.

Families are beginning to recognise the importance of planning a meaningful service that truly tells a story of the life lived and only you can do this in an honest way.

Loved ones and family look back and remember things differently once you pass and miss things out because of the stress and upset they are going through whilst grieving for your loss, making arrangements yourself in advance is the only way to leave your mark your own way, so how would you tell your story?

Golden Leaves pre-planned and pre-paid funerals to give you lots of room to get creative, the team of experts have over 30 years of experience in the industry and have all the skills to bring your ideas to life no matter how quirky.

Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing for ways to bring some of your personal character to your funeral.

Create a memory table

One of the essentials of any personalised funeral service is a memory table. We love memory tables because you can do so much with them. You could even make multiple memory tables that are set-up like “stations” to represent different chapters or passions in your life. The possibilities truly are endless here.

Offer a memorial stone station

Set up a station with small stones and permanent markers. Then, create a sign that instructs every guest to write their names and a brief note on a rock with a memory of time spent with you. Your family can choose to keep the rocks in their home, garden, or to scatter them somewhere that’s meaningful to you afterwards.

Sow seeds of love

In many cultures and traditions, planting a tree is a way of symbolising important occasions, including birth, marriage, and death. Embrace the tradition by either packaging seeds for a particular plant that service guests can bring home to plant their memorial tree or flower, or gathering attendees together for a joint planting in someplace special.

Create “Fun Fact” Cards

A funeral service is a once in a lifetime chance to celebrate the life you’ve lived, tell your story, and share all of the unique details that made you who you were. But sometimes this is hard to do in just an hour-long funeral service. Fun fact cards are an interesting way to spice up your funeral program, all you have to do is simply print them out and easily incorporate into your funeral service, or give them away at the wake afterwards to encourage positive conversations and memories.
