Making Memorials Special

By Sean Schopf

Memorials are always very tough to put together; the last minute preparations, the cost, and of course the stress of losing a person dear to you. It's understandable that the pressure is too much, but one should try to make a memorial special. Encourage your guest to instead of mourn the lost, try to celebrate the life they lived. For the menu try serving all the loved ones favorite foods. It brings up some conversations for example "I remember when she used to cook this meal every Sunday after church." Or "He always had to have wings on game day during the football season." It turns a sad depressing funeral into a bitter- sweet get together to remember a dear friend.

Memorials are also a time where one gives their eulogies. Encourage the speaker to have a little sense of humor. They can tell some jokes they used to tell or maybe a funny embarrassing (not to embarrassing) moment. Sometimes it's good to have more than one speaker, have all of your guest write one good memory about the person and read it out loud. Depending on the individual, think about having music. Make a mix CD of all their favorite songs, songs they use to sing to, and songs they used to dance to. Music always brings back memories and nice conversation like "oh I remember how he used to sing this song over and over again."

Visual aides are also a plus, though always tear jerkers. Bring pictures and videos of birthdays, vacations, and holidays. Bring up days when they were their happiest. Also a good idea would be a timeline from birth to death, bring up some achievements and accomplishments they have done in their lives. Even if it was as minimum as "he was a great dad."

When there are children involved it's important to make them feel included in the plans. In making preparations talk to them gently about deaths if the child is a small child, let them draw a picture of their favorite memory with their loved one. If the child is older let them write a little eulogy and share it at the memorial. Believe it or not being a part of the funeral helps to cope with the grieving and gives a sense of closure.

In picking flowers try to remember the loved ones favorite flowers and favorite colors. Traditionally we usually get the lilies and the sad flowers that remind everyone about death. Try to make the memorial more about celebrating life. Pick flowers that if the person were alive would make them smile. Colors that celebrate the life they lived.

There will be grieving at a funeral. Always give a moment of silence, it gives everyone a chance to quietly collect their thoughts. Remember to say goodbye with sweet memories and clear minds rather than having everything around reminding you of death. So when your stressed planning a memorial try to remember celebrate the life that was lived.
