Losing a loved one is never easy. However, their memorial service is an opportunity to remember the time you had together and celebrate their life. Personalizing the elements of a service, from choice in attire and music, makes a gathering more memorable. Marking the occasion with a dove release would make any ceremony unforgettable.

How to Personalize a Celebration of Life

1. Compose a Personalized Playlist

Is there an artist or style of music that your loved one enjoyed? Music helps people recall favorite memories and eases emotions. Assembling a playlist can set a peaceful tone for an event, whether the selections are religious in content, traditional, or upbeat.

2. Choose a Theme

By choosing a theme for a memorial service, you can also integrate favorite flowers, colors, attire, images, and decor into a programmed event. For example, if you’re honoring a friend who was an enthusiastic fan of a local sports team, ask attendees to wear the team’s jersey. If they were an artist, display examples of their work on easels for everyone to admire.

3. Take It Outside

You don’t need to host a service indoors. It can feel freeing for attendees to venture outside. Head to a park, garden, or conservatory or hold a graveside service at the burial site. A dove release when you exit a chapel can also be a compelling and moving tribute.
