Losing a loved one is devastating, but there is solace in honoring their memory. During your funeral planning, there are ways to express what the deceased meant to you and celebrate their life. From the eulogy to the memorial service, the caring professionals at Meyer & Geiser Funeral Home in Cincinnati, OH, are committed to ensuring your loved one gets the tribute they deserve.

Here they share some advice on how to personalize a funeral service:

1. Show Off Their Accomplishments

If you decide to have visitation hours or a casket viewing at the funeral home, you can create a space devoted to their memory. Celebrate their life by displaying photos, memorabilia, personal artwork, or any other significant item.

2. Design a Personalized Program

While the program generally provides guests with information about service time and location, you can customize it to include a more intimate touch. Photos of the deceased surrounded by their family and friends express how much they were loved. Another option is to print a poem or a song that was particularly meaningful to the departed. 

3. Write a Personal Eulogy

During the funeral planning process, consider giving the eulogy. This memorable speech is a good way to reflect on who the deceased was, what they accomplished, and how they impacted your life. Also, you can ask one of the clergy to read something that would have spoken to the deceased, or you can ask a few people who were close to your loved one to stand up and share a personal memory.

With the right guidance, funeral planning doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Whether you prefer a traditional service or a personalized one, the professionals at Meyer & Geiser Funeral Home offer an array of resources to satisfy any custom, religion, or request.
