One of the certainties of our being is death. All of us have to face it and is yet not ready for it. Conducting a service in memory of the deceased is one of the oldest customs that has undergone tremendous changes. Traditionally, a funeral service was conducted in church and the deceased was bid farewell with hymns as well as a eulogy. But, this trend is changing today, with a lot of people wishing to organise a more personal funeral service for their near and dear one.
Organizing a funeral could be a very painful and difficult task, particularly immediately after the death of a relative or someone close. The basic myths regarding funeral services include that this is a legal requirement, which it definitely isn’t. Secondly, a lot of people have an erroneous belief that a service can be held only in a church. It is to be noted that though conventionally such services were held in a church, with the trend of personalizing, a lot of funeral services are being conducted within the premises of the departed. Thirdly, such a personalized service does not require use of a casket or even a pastor or clergy to conduct the proceedings.
With the increase in demand for personal funeral services, it is important to take the deceased into consideration while preparing for it. Music, must be something that is soft, soothing and from the personal favourites of the departed. You could choose from a live performance or going with pre recorded music.
There is also a growing trend of exhibiting the personal items of the departed to display his or her personality to the entire world. It is also crucial to give an address in the service in form of a speech, poem or a song in the memory of the departed by a close friend or relative.
Finally, it is preferable to give the guests assembled at the service some type of a memento that will make them recall the memory of the departed forever.
