At Allen & Allen we believe that choices of service is a personal decision. We also believe that funeral services should directly reflect the life of a person that has died.

By paying honor and tribute to that life, a statement is made about the influence that the person has had on the world around him or her. Personalization gives the opportunity for that to be done.

Personalizing a funeral or anything can have as many different meaning as there are people. Listed below are just a few ideas for personalization:

Memorial tables are displays with items that reflect the interest of the deceased. Sporting equipment, hobby items, family items or religious items are just a few. Picture boards are arrangements of pictures that again reflect life lived.

Caskets may be personalized with engravings or cap panels that make a statement about a hobby, family, church or work. Urns may be personalized with names, dates and engravings of sports, church or many other choices.

Music that was enjoyed by the deceased may be played at the service or the visitation. Eulogist may be used to speak at the service and pay additional tribute. Handing out items such as flowers, balloons, pictures, writing or anything that might reflect the person's life is a nice way of personalizing a service.

These are some of many ideas that might be used to personalize a service. After the service the grave marker may be personalized through the use of pictures and etchings. For more information on personalization, please contact us.
