Title: Memorial Service is an Honoring of a Loved One
1Memorial Service is an Honoring of a Loved One
2Hold a Memorial Service
- The group may begin by making a list of relatives
and friends to invite and also create a list of
the things that were important to the loved one
a favorite song, hobbies, bible verses, poems,
etc. that will help with planning the memorial
service. The group should also decide if the
memorial will be followed with a reception. The
reception typically includes food and drink, and
is less formal. - Use this checklist to help the group plan the
memorial service. The group may go through each
item together or each person may choose
particular items they will be responsible for. If
you find the list to be daunting, consider hiring
a local funeral director or an event planner.
They can assist by taking the lead and have
choices for locations, flowers, music, speakers,
catering, etc.
3Decide on a Purpose or Theme for the Memorial
Service
- You may want to decide on a purpose or theme for
the memorial service, as a guide for readings,
etc. For what will the deceased be remembered?
Her devotion to family? His love of music? His
active lifestyle? Her dedication to charity? The
theme can be reflected in any decoration, the
choice of location, the choice of music, etc. - The date selected may be several weeks after the
death. Pick a date that allows friends and family
time to make travel plans and adjust their
calendars. Perhaps it makes sense to have the
service during the summer when all were planning
to gather anyway, an early morning ocean sunrise
or late evening fireside chat may become the
memorial service. Scheduling the event in two or
three weeks lets out-of-town guests take
advantage of the 14-day advance booking discount
on airline tickets. By not feeling pressured to
have a service right away, there is time for
thoughtful planning.
