Rather than opting to do things "the same old way", many families today want to celebrate the life of a loved one. Many funeral service professionals see this change as one of the many contributions to social change made by 'Baby Boomers'. The National Funeral Directors Association notes, "As baby boomers age and find themselves having to plan funerals for loved ones and themselves, they are making funeral choices based on values that are different than previous generations. Baby boomers see funerals as a valuable part of the grieving process and are seeking ways to make them meaningful." If you too desire to make the funeral for a loved one more engaging and personally meaningful, a
celebration of life may be the perfect concept to build on.
Our experience has shown us that many of today's families want more meaning than a traditional funeral memorial. This can be done by bringing more of the personality and lifestyle of the deceased into the memorial arrangements. By displaying photographs or staging the event around a favorite pastime, a memorial service can become more personal and meaningful.
It's really a process of asking–and answering–questions. Sit down with other family members, at least once—but maybe even more than once—to explore the memorial planning ideas which arise from answering these questions:
We know that's a lot to think about. But we urge you to take your time; be thoughtful, and don't hesitate to explore all the celebrations of life ideas which arise as part of this memorial planning experience.
