Personalized Funeral Services That Reflect a Life Lived

Personalization

In remembering special times spent with your loved one, it can help to list notable moments.  What will they be remembered for, including their personality, unique traits, hobbies, interests, memberships, education, career, passions, achievements, favorite places and relationships? There are a number of ways that these can be incorporated into a service:

Celebrant Service

A Funeral Celebrant serves by providing a funeral service, memorial service or tribute that is personalized and individualized to reflect the personality and life-style of the deceased after consultation with the family and loved ones and coordination with the funeral home.


Joey L. Luck, Licensed Funeral Director and Certified Celebrant, will meet with the family to offer guidance and consulting while planning a personalized and meaningful funeral to honor the loved one. She will have a Family Time for sharing of stories and memories, and has a wide library of resources for readings, music and other special ceremonies to help the family design a service that honors the life. Your service can have any elements, music and readings that are right for you and for your family.


As a Certified Celebrant, Joey is able to assist families who are not a member of a church or simply do not wish to have a religious service. She works with families to create a meaningful tribute that reflects the personality and life-style of the deceased. Every life is unique and every family should have the right to make their service unique to their loved one.

Photos & Slideshows

There are many opportunities to display photos at a funeral service.  Poster boards with photo collages can be placed on easels provided by the funeral home.  We have several tables available to display items and photos. 

Tribute Videos

TVs are available in each visitation room to display slideshows created by the family or funeral home staff.  We can also play a slideshow in our chapels prior to the service.  Slideshows created by our staff may added to your loved one's online obituary.  Video keepsakes are available, including DVDs, USBs, and photo books.  These tribute videos can be shared with your family for generations.

Artwork or Other Special Items

Artwork of the deceased or art created in tribute is a beautiful addition to a service. Special items (ie. cooking utensils,, ballcaps, leather jackets, service uniforms, trophies, etc.) displayed throughout the funeral home help people learn more about a life that was cherished.

Music

Live or pre-recorded music can be relaxing and comforting to those attending a service.  Other ways to incorporate music may include creating a playlist with your loved one's favorite songs.  If he or she wrote a song, maybe a recording can be played at the service or someone can perform this at the funeral service.


Readings Of Poetry & Literature

Passages from the deceased’s favorite books or poems that capture his/her essence of life help create a service infused with wisdom and words to remember.  You can also invite friends and family members to read passages or poems of their choice or write their own pieces to share.
