After arranging for Cremation Services in Bellevue Wa, the family usually also wants to set up a memorial service or funeral. It’s become customary to have a photo board or video slideshow at these services, set up in an entryway or common area so people can easily look at the pictures. Special memorial DVDs also are being created so people can view them later whenever they want to.
DVD Advantages
Compact discs have long been used for a similar purpose, but their usage is more limited. With DVDs, family members and others can watch the photo montage on a TV set instead of on a computer or tablet. A group might gather in someone’s home on the anniversary of the loved one’s passing and view the photos, pausing as they feel like it to talk about a cherished memory.
This kind of personalized memorial service or funeral helps bring people together in sharing of memories now and in the future. After Cremation Services in Bellevue Wa have been arranged, usually at least several days of time are available for the close relatives to begin choosing photos for the DVD. If there is extra time, they might ask extended family and the deceased person’s close friends if there are any photos they want to contribute.
Photos Commonly Included
Any kinds of photos can be included. The montage might range from the person’s earliest years to the most recent photos. Weddings, social gatherings, vacations and photos related to hobbies are common examples.
Some families decide to hire professionals to create this DVD, while others work on it themselves. Either way, they have a permanent tribute and memorial to the loved one that those who see it will always appreciate it.
Other Tributes
Other tributes have always been traditional and continue to be so. Funeral directors with an organization like Cremation Society of Washington can help families write obituaries and have them published in print sources and online. The relatives may want to have special music at the service and a program for all the guests attending. Combined, all the tributes help with the emotional healing process.
