Losing a loved one is always a difficult process. While letting go can be challenging, it’s important to celebrate life while you mourn. At Beecher & Bennett in Hamden, Connecticut, they specialize in offering clients full-service funeral assistance. From making funeral arrangements to planning the memorial service and deciding on the urns, their experienced and compassionate team work tirelessly to ensure the process is as easy as possible, allowing you more time to focus on celebrating your loved one’s life.

If you’re preplanning your own funeral or looking for funeral services for a friend or family member, here are three unique ways to honor their life from Beecher & Bennett:

• Quote Board: Make your loved one's memorial service speak to you and your guests by asking family and friends to share their favorite inspirational quotes. They can be about the person, about healing, or about life in general. Create beautiful quote boards and hang them throughout the memorial service to set the tone for the celebration of life.
• Memory Stones: Most people tend to find comfort in retelling fond memories of the person who has passed. At the memorial service, consider setting up a memory stone station. Include smooth stones and markers so all attendees can write out a favorite memory or moment spent with the deceased on a stone. Collect all the memory stones and create a special art piece or tribute so your loved one lives on.
• Feature Favorite Things: As you say your goodbyes, honor a loved one’s life by featuring their favorite things as part of the memorial services. Serve guests a favorite drink, snack, or dessert. Play your loved one's favorite song or feature some of their favorite mementos at the memorial service.
