For more than a century, Adzima Funeral Home of Stratford, CT, has been bringing families and friends together to celebrate the lives of their loved ones. They know that while every funeral is expected to have its share of sadness, there are ways that you can bring a glimpse of joy into the occasion by incorporating personal touches that reflect your loved one’s passions.

Below, the caring team at Adzima Funeral Home shares some special ways to personalize your loved one’s funeral:

• Consider A Memory Jar: As a way to honor your loved one, you can place a memory jar on display to encourage guests to share their favorite memories of your loved one. This is a unique way to brighten funeral services by getting those close to the person who has passed to reflect on the good times they shared with him or her.

• Choose A Unique Floral Spray: During funeral planning, some family members like to get creative with floral sprays as a way to reflect their loved one’s personality. Whether you choose to put in a special request with your florist or you wouldn’t mind taking on some of the creative work yourself, there are many ways to feature small details reflecting your loved one’s favorite hobbies within a floral arrangement.
• Provide A Take-Home Token: You can further personalize a funeral by providing guests with something special to take home. For instance, if your loved one was a gardener, you might want to consider handing out some seeds for guests to plant. Or, if he or she enjoyed bird watching, you could hand out a small packet of bird seed to attendees. There are many ways in which you can provide a take-home memory for guests.
