At Egizi Funeral Home, one of the questions we are often asked is, “How can I make the service for my loved one feel more personal?” This is a question our experienced team welcomes from the Washington Township families we serve, knowing how much a meaningful service can help their grief process as well as continue the narrative of their loved one’s life. When you choose Egizi for a memorial service, funeral, or visitation, there are many unique touches we can weave throughout the event. And the personalization options don’t have to be overwhelming. We will be there to help you identify the options that work best for your family and tell the story of your loved one’s life.

Here are some popular ideas to get your imagination working:

 

Create a video tribute
One of the best ways to personalize a visitation or service is by creating a video tribute. Many of our families find memorial videos to be one of the most healing and special moments of the funeral service. At Egizi, our professional staff can put together a meaningful video tribute composed of your favorite pictures. A great tribute video can be a wonderful and engaging way to remember someone. Extra copies are available as a keepsake, so guests can even take home a video to play time and again in order to remember the beautiful moments that were shared.

Share personal stories or anecdotes
Including touching stories or anecdotes during the service is another special way to honor your loved one. You may wish to speak to your guests yourself, designate a friend or family member to speak, or choose a member of the clergy to share those personal stories. You might consider a customized funeral program featuring a photo, a favorite story or poem, and a special message to those who attend. No matter how you wish to share these stories, the Egizi team can assist you in bringing them to life to share with all who attend.

Play music
Music can lend a moving touch to any service but personalizing your music choices can make the service even more meaningful. You may wish to choose a song or artist that meant a lot to your loved one. Perhaps there is a song with lyrics that are particularly appropriate for you and your family. Allow us to assist you with choosing and playing music before, during, or after your visitation or service in remembrance of the person who has died. 

 

No matter how you choose to personalize your service, know we are always here to answer your questions and meet your wishes in order to create a special tribute to your loved one.
