What Unique Funeral Services Ideas Can You Consider For Your Prearranged Funeral?

Blog

You get to plan your funeral well in advance if you want to have more of a say in how your funeral goes and save money on your funeral costs. Funeral homes are accustomed to managing a variety of client needs when it comes to their funeral services, and having a unique funeral is not entirely unheard of.

If you don't know what to do plan for when it comes to your eventual funeral, here are some ideas to make the experience more unique and special to your guests. Remember — funerals are there to honor loved ones who have passed away and to help put the family members left behind at ease. In the end, what you want in your funeral services is what will largely happen so long as funeral homes can accommodate these needs, and here are some ideas to consider.

A prerecorded video/audio message for your loved ones

Consider creating a video or audio message for your loved ones to listen to or watch during your funeral. You can include this message in your will contents or leave a recording with the funeral home you will have do your funeral services. It's wise to do the video or audio message sooner rather than later, so your loved ones can remember you at your most vibrant or as you wish to be remembered yourself.

A live musical performance

Do you love music and want your loved ones to have access to beautiful music as part of your funeral services? If so, then you should consider having a live performance from an instrumental band or singer as part of your funeral services. While you cannot specifically request any band or musical performer because you don't know when your funeral is going to be (unless you are prearranging your funeral in your very late years), you can leave specific requirements with your funeral director about the type of music you want and how you want the musical numbers performed.

This can be a great way to honor your memory and love of entertainment and can help break up an otherwise somber experience and bring some peace to the room. Speak to your funeral services director and see what other ideas you can entertain to make your funeral complete and give you peace of mind knowing your one-day funeral is going to be both unique and desirable to your wishes. You can make tweaks and changes to your prearranged funeral as needed along the way, within reason.
