PERSONALIZING THE FUNERAL

The growing trend in funeral service to create a more personal tribute to the deceased is heavily attributed to the aging "baby boomer" generation. The boomers are changing a funeral into a more meaningful experience, and Noel's Funeral Homes Limited encourages the families we serve to make each visitation and service unique.

Personalizing a funeral home visitation and service helps in the grieving and healing process. By planning a personalized funeral, which may include a specific choice of music, flowers and readings at the service, families learn to focus on a life lived rather than a life lost. These services help individuals remember the special times they spent with their loved one, as well as help them to heal by making the death a reality. Many also find comfort in recognizing their loved one's accomplishments and the lives they touched. Individuals have expressed that planning a personalized funeral for their loved one was a meaningful and unforgettable event.

Families may choose to personalize the visitation by displaying in the visitation area pictures, mementos, awards, items relating to a hobby or other special items that reflect on the life of their loved one.

Our funeral home provides a Celebration of Life Magnetic Memory Board where photos showing the family, wedding, vacation or other special moments in life may be mounted. The easel may also be used to accommodate larger pictures or portraits. These photos reflect happy memories of the life and not the death of your loved one and may stimulate family and friends to share stories during the visitation.

Please feel free to share your ideas for personalizing your loved one's funeral visitation and service with one of our funeral directors.
