I have encouraged people to have a memory book placed at the flower terrace. It helps those who don’t want to mix and small talk. They can share their memories privately in this way. The book is then taken to the wake and more memories recorded.
Today a procession following behind a
coffin sang I Just Called to Say I Love You as this is what their nanna used to say when they rang her.

For example, I just completed a celebration of life for an avid golfer. At the last minute, I returned to my home and searched my golf bag for spare golf tees. I brought all my tees to the funeral home chapel and placed a simple computer printed sign next to a bowl of the tees that said -” please take a tee in honor of Tom”. The family loved it and the attendees had a takeaway to remember Tom and the service honoring his life.
I sometimes print out the poem I used during the service and then insert it in an inexpensive frame. At the conclusion of the service, I give it to the next of kin as a keepsake.
Lastly, I always make a copy of the service script and I give it to the family to share with those unable to attend. This has always been well received and thanked.
