When it comes to funeral planning, the overwhelming sensation is often grief and loss. It can be hard to find moments of happiness during a time of such sorrow. But reminiscing and sharing joyous memories of your departed loved one won’t just bring a smile to your face—it will also make for a truly special funeral service. 

If you’re in the midst of the funeral planning process, consider including these five personal aspects and anecdotes of your lost loved one to create a beautiful, unique service.

5 Personal Points to Include in a Funeral

1. Important People

Often, immediate family members will be mentioned during a funeral service, but sometimes including stories about valued mentors, best friends, or distant relatives will reveal meaningful narratives.

Treasured thoughts of the deceased could reveal a lot about their life. Sharing your happiest memories and experiences involving your loved one during the funeral will remind attendees of all the joy the deceased spread. It may even remind them of their own cherished memories about the dearly departed. 

3. Adventurous Moments

Sharing stories that highlight your loved one’s bravery and thirst for adventure could shine a new light on their life. Some of their adventurous moments could include moving away from home, starting a new business venture, or trying something new. 

4. Greatest Accomplishments

Your loved one’s greatest accomplishments tell the story of their determination and drive for success. As you work through the funeral planning process, consider sharing these admirable anecdotes and highlighting these qualities.
