Suggestions for Personalizing Your Funeral Pre-Planning Arrangements

Personalizing your end-of-life arrangements is an opportunity to get your loved ones to celebrate your life your way. Once you have made the all-important decision about burial or cremation, look at some of these aspects:

• Whether it is viewing, visitation, a wake, a memorial service or celebration-of-life event, select the activities and events that you want your family and friends to participate in.
• Think about how you wish to incorporate your likes and preferences in the chosen ceremonies.
  • Would you want friends and family to follow a specific colour theme in all the arrangements?
  • Is there a favourite song, poem, musical instrument or personal belonging that defines you and should be part of the rites or events?
  • Wish to add any specific photos or flower arrangements to the ceremonies?
  • Prefer a particular venue where friends and family should gather for these events?
• Specify the way you want your friends and family members to remember you.
  • Is there any specific charitable organization that loved ones could contribute to in your memory?
  • What kind of details would you like mentioned in your obituary?
