Creating A Memory Book Around Cremation Services
There are a lot of different things you can do to make cremation services in Orlando, FL extra special when a loved one passes away. One thing you might do is to create a memory book for people to look through at those services. Whether you do that or not, you might want to create such a book, even just for yourself, after the services are complete. It is a nice way to honor your loved one and it can give you something to hold onto and look through when you want to think of them. Here are a few tips to help you get started on that project.
Collect The Special Photos
If you are the family member who keeps tabs on the photos, that might not be a hard step. It might be a matter of going through photo albums, making copies, or printing things out from your computer. Or, you might have to dig deeper and collect copies from family members who have pictures you want to include in the book. It is nice to have all of the pictures together at once so you can put an order to them if you want to make the book that way. Otherwise, pictures at random can work as well, and then you can put others in whenever you get them.
Decide On A Type Of Book
There are many types of photo books today and you will want to figure out what you want to do before you get started. The old-fashioned way would be to just get a photo album and stick pictures into the pages. Some of these books have spaces beside the picture portions so you can write dates, names, or memories in there as well. If you enjoy scrapbooking, you might want to go that route. You can use real pictures and then decorate the pages with things that remind you or your loved one or items that accentuate what’s happening in the picture. It can take a lot of time, but it can be a lot of fun and a wonderful way to memorialize your love done. You can also create an online photo book that can be printed out. You can arrange photos and backgrounds digitally, so things are easy to change. The nice advantage to a book you create online is that you can print out as many copies as you want to give to other people.
