It is a heartbreaking and sensitive time for family and friends when a loved one is lost. The utmost care and consideration must be afforded to those closest to the deceased, as grief is experienced by everyone in different ways.
We can, however, create a beautiful and meaningful funeral ceremony for the lost loved one, to send them off in a memorable and loving way. Celebrating their life in this way shows them respect and gratitude for the impact that they have made. Here are some unique funeral ceremony ideas to honour those that have passed.
Getting All The Details Straightened Out
Firstly loved ones must choose if the deceased should be presented in a coffin or urn, as well as who will say the obituary. It is essential to consider what the person that has passed would have wanted and to honour those requests. It is often helpful for multiple friends and family members to write the obituary as this will encapsulate all facets of the person and foster camaraderie to assist everyone through their grief.
The Actual Funeral Ceremony Event
The funeral ceremony is a beautiful event to honour a person’s life, with friends and family coming together to show their love and support. However, if you would like to include other tributes, there are a few other ideas that you could try.
- If space is a problem here, you could instead name a star after the person, creating an everlasting legacy for them.
- If the departed was a nature lover, using their ashes to fertilise a memorial tree is a beautiful option. This way, family and friends can watch the tree grow over the years, which will spark joy and reminiscence about the past. Shrines and ribbons can also be placed in the tree to honour the deceased further.
- Lastly, releasing something into the sky is a physical symbol of their ascension to a better place. This can be done using biodegradable paper lanterns. When family and friends come together and light and release a lantern at the same time, this creates an incredibly special moment that everyone can cherish.
