When you choose cremation services for a loved one, you may be choosing them because they are a simple and affordable option. That doesn’t mean you can’t still make cremation services in Milwaukee, WI special. There are plenty of ways to make cremation services more personal so you can feel like you are giving your loved one the goodbye they deserve. Here are a few suggestions.
Play Music
It’s common to play music at traditional funerals, but there’s no reason you can play music during cremation services. You can watch or be present during the cremation and will be able to view it all from a small room with a window. You can bring your phone or even a small CD player and play church hymns or other songs while watching the cremation happen. You can play church songs or any music that has a special meaning to your or your deceased loved one.
Eulogy
You can deliver a eulogy at the cremation just as you would at a traditional funeral. You can ask other people to give them as well. If you have a priest or pastor, you can ask them to come to the cremation service to pray or even conduct a full service. You have the ability to choose which aspects of a traditional funeral you want to add to the cremation and which ones you want to leave out.
Photos
Photos always make the cremation more personal and unique. If you are not planning a memorial service, you can choose to bring a few photos with you to the actual cremation. If you are having a cremation memorial, you can choose to use the photos in a variety of ways. You can make collages, display framed photos, or even make a DVD with a photo slideshow.
Memory Table
Many people choose to create a memory table that contains photos and belongings of their loved ones. You can display this table at the cremation or the memorial service. You can encourage other people to bring items that belonged to the deceased. If you make a memory table for the memorial service, you can also place that urn holding the remains of your loved ones. This gives people a place to pay their respects.
