Who will be invited?
The number of guests define the where, when, and how of your services. Write down the names of everyone you think would want to be there and then set it aside. You can add new names to the list as you go along.
Where and when should the event take place?
Here's where your planning may be tempered by any scheduling or travel-related issues facing those who will be invited. Be sure to check in with out-of-town relatives and friends about their situation before settling on these critical details.
Who will orchestrate or conduct the event?
If your loved one was religious, you may opt to have their pastor or minister perform these tasks. However, many families today hire a non-denominational celebrant to oversee the services.
What readings and music should you include?
Choosing readings and music to be played at funeral services can be a deeply personal choice. If the deceased didn't designate which selections they would prefer, you and your family may take the time to plan on what kinds of options most reflect the life of your loved one.
Who wishes to speak at the event?
Family members or friends may be very direct about their desire to make a short presentation about the deceased. In other instances, you will need to ask around to determine who would be willing to publicly share their thoughts and feelings. Either way, you'll want to select someone who has shared a close relationship with the deceased and has something meaningful to contribute.
What additional activities would be appropriate?
We've heard some exciting celebration-of-life ideas over the years. This question involves thinking about what your loved one enjoyed most in life and gives everyone a remarkable space to share memories, laugh, and even cry together.
