The
traditional funeral increasingly is becoming less traditional these
days. Ceremonies tend to contain non-traditional or creative
elements.
Many
choose to arrange funeral ceremonies as "A Celebration Of Life,"
preferring to recognize the accomplishments and affection the
deceased has earned, as opposed to the loss a death creates in our
own lives.
In these
instances, the traditional service is mixed with stories, eulogies,
good humor, music, photographs, mementoes, and even video in these
days when so many of the events and people in our lives are captured
on camcorders.
The
choice of these creative elements depends on what is appropriate to
the departed and the family. It is the obvious we often overlook.
A bag of
golf clubs by the casket of an accomplished golfer; canvases of an
amateur artist displayed in the foyer; a favorite cowboy hat beside
the urn -- personal remembrances lift our spirits, and give the
ceremonies more dimension than simply that of grieving.
Personalization carries on into the type merchandise selected for
the service. Crain Funeral home offers a line of specialty caskets
that can selected to fit the personality of your loved one.
Many
also choose to step out of the ordinary and design a unique monument
or marker. M/C Monuments works with families to provide the perfect
monument for that person.
Funerals
from ordinary to extraordinary!!!
