Unique & Personal Touches for Funerals

Inspiration for Personal Touches for a Funeral or Celebration of Life

Personal Touches at a funeral or celebration of life, from beautiful flowers and bespoke stationery to memorial items and photos, can help you to create a unique and heartfelt farewell. Here are a few ideas.

Funeral Flowers and Floral Tributes

Flowers can be chosen to reflect a particular aspect of your loved one’s passions or personality. It may be that they had a favourite colour or type of flower, or they loved a particular sport or hobby. For ideas for something a little different, please go to Bespoke Funeral Flower Designs.

You can also get wonderful funeral flowers made from paper, silk, glass and ceramic – to find out more, please go to Paper and Alternative Funeral Flowers.

Funeral Stationery

As well as the order of service, there are many stationery items such as memory books, attendance cards and bookmarks, that can help you to reflect and capture the personality of your loved one. For ideas for bespoke funeral stationery, please go to Unique Funeral Stationery Items.

Memory Jars and Memory Books

Create a space where family and friends can write memories in a book or on little postcards that can be placed in a memory jar or box. The memory table could include photos, items that reflect a loved one’s interests and personality, or maybe a favourite book or quote.

Photo Boards, Photo Books and Tribute Videos

Photos can be displayed on a photo board, in a book, or included in a tribute video that can be played to music or a favourite song.

Memorial Balloons, White Doves and Memory Lanterns

Releasing eco-friendly balloons, memory lanterns or beautiful white doves can create a quiet moment for contemplation after a funeral service or celebration of life. For children, it can be lovely to have a basket of bubbles that they can blow in the air.

Unique Coffins, Caskets and Shrouds

These days there is a wide range of styles and types of coffins, caskets and shrouds. There are beautiful biodegradable coffins created from recycled paper, willow or wool-felt, and cardboard coffins that can be decorated by family and friends.

Funeral Fireworks

Say goodbye with a bang! Fireworks can provide an uplifting way to honour and celebrate a loved one’s life. For someone who maybe loved space or adventure, it is also possible to incorporate cremation ashes into fireworks.
