Funeral services often have a rather somber mood. That is understandable. It is not easy to say goodbye to a loved one. However, it is increasingly common to turn a funeral ceremony into a celebration of life or to have a separate event before or after the funeral ceremony. Many people find that approach to be particularly fitting for their mother. After all, she is the person who gave them life-often physically but always in supporting and nurturing them to help them make the most of their life.
But if you choose to have a celebration of life before, during or after the funeral service, how do you do that? A great way to approach it is to come up with an overarching theme that runs through the entire event, from the music and decor to the menu of a post-service meal.
To find your theme, you can look at what mom was passionate about. She was surely devoted to caring for her family, but what were some things she did more for her own entertainment or amusement? What put a smile on her face?
When you select a mom-focused theme, attendees enjoy fond memories of her throughout the gathering. Plus, you will likely find that brainstorming about mom's passions with other family members and friends is a very positive experience for everyone involved. It is an important reminder that while she will no longer be present in the flesh, she will always be present in the hearts and minds of those who loved her.
Below are eight ideas to consider for making a funeral service also a celebration of life for mom.
proudly pulling out the scrapbooks she made? These hobbies are wonderful representations of who she was and can feature prominently in the funeral service, both visually and in mentions by anyone speaking at the event.
Some people choose to have a traditional funeral service and then celebrate mom's life in a separate event. Here are some ideas:
Pack up your picnic basket and reminisce about her as you share a meal with family and friends.
Acknowledging mom's passing by celebrating her life not only honors her, but it also helps family and friends focus on all the joy she brought to people around her. In that way, a celebration of life is a wonderful way to begin the healing process.
