Resources for Planning a Service

Below you will find some considerations you will want to think through as you plan a memorial for your loved one.

  • What do you want the service to look like? Is it a traditional service officiated by a minister, a happy hour reception with a dance floor, or something in between?
  • Whom do you want to speak? Do you want to have friends and family tell stories about your loved one’s life, or would you prefer a minister do most of the speaking?
  • Do you want an officiant? Officiants help arrange the order of service and incorporate any special requests you and your family may have.
  • What kinds of readings would you like? Is there a certain poem or scripture that was special to your loved one?
  • What kind of music would you like? Music is a healing component of any celebration of life. Do you prefer live music, a soloist, a music playlist, or even a dance party?
  • Do you want a reception? Following the memorial service, do you want to gather friends and family to look at photos and share stories?
