Memorial services are a great way to honor and celebrate the life of a loved one who has passed. To make sure the ceremony accurately represents the deceased, it’s essential to take a few factors into consideration during the planning process. The sympathetic staff at E.C. Nurre Funeral Homes understands putting a service together in the midst of grieving can be overwhelming, but they are available to help the residents of Amelia, New Richmond, and Bethel, OH, every step of the way.

Below, they go over a few of the most important elements to think about when you’re organizing a memorial service:

  • Timeframe: While funerals are traditionally held within a few days to a week of someone’s death, memorial services don’t have to be tied to a certain timeframe. You may choose to have one whenever out-of-town friends and family are able to be present, or you might decide on a date that had some significance to your loved one. 
  • memorial serviceVenue: A memorial service can be held at virtually any indoor or outdoor location. If the deceased was a particularly spiritual person, a church might be the best venue. However, if they loved spending time outdoors, you may select a park or somewhere else they liked to go. When picking a venue, make sure it can accommodate the number of guests who will attend.
  • Features: Although you don’t have to follow a particular structure with a memorial service, you might want to incorporate special features that depict the unique personality of the deceased. This may include things like readings, music, flowers, and photos. You must also determine if you wish to have any speakers and who those people will be.

Planning a meaningful tribute to your loved one will go much more smoothly if you keep each of these aspects in mind. For assistance with arranging a memorial service, contact E.C. Nurre Funeral Homes at (513) 753-6130. You can also visit them online for additional information.
