Keep reading to learn more about personalized memorials after cremation services.<\/p>\n<p>Studies show that the more <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/facts-about-personalization-at-funeral-homes\/\">personalized and memorable a service<\/a> is the more it helps not only honor the deceased but also offer some relief for the bereaved during their time of loss. How will you customize the memorial after a cremation service?<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of different ways to go about it. Start with these ideas for some inspiration.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Set Up a Memory Table<\/strong> \u2013 A memory table is an easy way to help make a memorial service custom and personalized. It\u2019s a simple and free way to show items that either meant a lot to the deceased, show their personality, or represent the deceased to other people. You can put almost anything on a memory table such as photos, sunglasses, ticket stubs from special events, letters, favorite vases or flowers, beloved clothing, or anything else that was special to or about the deceased. You can also make several memory stations as opposed to just one table. There can be themed tables with each one showing a part of the deceased\u2019s life, such as wedding memories, school items, and children and grandchildren.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Put Out Special Food<\/strong> \u2013 Food is a serious comfort for a lot of people. Take inspiration from the deceased\u2019s favorite foods and put out a special spread for guests at the service. You can try new foods, too, as long as they\u2019re inspired by the deceased.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Decorations<\/strong> \u2013 It might seem like bad form to decorate a memorial service after a cremation, but decorations can actually make the service more special and unique. You can add decorations in any form you want, from lamps and rugs to artwork, flowers, and everything in between. Bring decorations that somehow represent or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neflfuneral.com\/our-services\/honoring-life\">honor the deceased<\/a>. For example, if she loved to stitch, you could hang some of her work. Or if he loved a certain artist, you could display copies of famous artwork.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Share Photos and Videos<\/strong> \u2013 Many bereaved families make photo collages or montage videos for a memorial service. These items are treasured by the family, but other bereaved like friends and coworkers would appreciate access to them as well. Consider uploading any montages or videos online to share with other people. You can use GoogleDrive, DropBox, or Youtube. Make the files accessible with only a certain link and print the link on the service program so guests can access it if they choose.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-260 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cremation-service-in-Jacksonville-FL.jpeg\" alt=\"cremation service in Jacksonville, FL\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cremation-service-in-Jacksonville-FL.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cremation-service-in-Jacksonville-FL-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cremation-service-in-Jacksonville-FL-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cremation-service-in-Jacksonville-FL-219x146.jpeg 219w, https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cremation-service-in-Jacksonville-FL-50x33.jpeg 50w, https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cremation-service-in-Jacksonville-FL-113x75.jpeg 113w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you need more ideas, look to the deceased for inspiration from his or her life.
