Understanding Tailored Funerals
Tailored funerals go beyond traditional ceremonies to create a personalised and meaningful tribute to the departed. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, tailored funerals are customised to reflect the personality, passions, and preferences of the deceased.
1. Consultation and Planning
- Initial Meeting: Our experienced funeral directors will meet with you to discuss your wishes and gather insights about the person's life, interests, and values.
- Personalisation Options: Explore a range of personalisation options, from unique themes and decorations to specialised music selections and tribute videos.
2. Personal Touches and Details
- Memorabilia Display: Incorporate personal items such as photographs, artwork, or cherished possessions into the funeral arrangements.
3. Meaningful Rituals and Ceremonies
- Special Readings or Tributes: Invite family members and friends to share readings, poems, or stories that honour the life and legacy of the departed.
- Release of Butterflies or Doves: Consider symbolic gestures like releasing butterflies or doves during the ceremony as a beautiful tribute.
4. Unique Celebrations of Life
- Outdoor Gatherings: Plan an outdoor celebration of life at a meaningful location, such as a park, beach, or garden.
- Themed Events: Create a themed event that reflects the person's interests, such as a sports-themed gathering or a music-inspired memorial.
5. Post-Funeral Memorials and Keepsakes
- Memory Books or Websites: Create memory books, websites, or digital archives where family and friends can share memories and photos.
- Commemorative Plantings: Plant trees, flowers, or gardens in memory of the departed as a living tribute.
