When someone in your family passes away, there are plenty of cremation services in Daytona Beach, FL from which to choose. Your main goal is to honor and remember your loved one. That means you don’t want to choose a cremation package and leave it as-is. You want to customize things to suit your loved one and who they were while they were alive. One way to do that is to make a list of their favorites and then infuse those things into the cremation service. Here are some examples:

cremation services in Daytona Beach, FL

Favorite Color

Most people have a favorite color and if your loved one was adamant about wearing as much red as they could, you should honor that through their services. Either decorate in reds or request that people wear red to the service. Sure, black and other dark colors are standard for final services, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Have some red pins or scarves on hand for those who don’t get the message so they can participate.

Favorite Location

Is there a park your loved one enjoyed strolling paths or a bench they sat and read as they watched the wildlife? Did your loved one enjoy going to church? Where did they feel most at home? Use that location for the memorial service in one of many ways. For certain locations, you could have the memorial at that location. For others, consider scattering their ashes there to send them home in a way that makes them feel at home.

Favorite Pictures

There are some pictures of themselves your loved one probably hated, but there are others they likely adored. It could be because of the other people in it, what they were doing when it was taken, or for many other reasons. As you look through pictures, watch for that sparkle in their eye that brought them alive. If they haven’t pointed out favorites in the past, you can probably tell what ones they enjoyed based on their joy in them. Feature those photos in a slide show or on memory boards for whatever type of service you have.

Favorite Foods

Many families like to include a reception after a memorial service so family and friends can gather, socialize, and spend more time together. Have a meal of all your loved one’s favorites, whatever those may be, to remember them in those moments as well.

These are a few ways to use your loved one’s favorite things to make the most out of their cremation services in Daytona Beach, FL.
