Samples of personalization

How this can help

Memorial Photos (DVD or picture boards)

Spark memories and start conversations among attendees.

Casket that attendees can sign

It can be helpful for some people to write things down about their loved ones that they want to express or share with the family.

Clothing, sports equipment, military uniforms etc. to display

The things that had meaning to your loved one will also give meaning to the people who attend the service.

Parking a car, boat, snowmobile, camper, motorcycle, or other vehicle by our entrance

This can provide comfort to those who attend by seeing objects that were near and dear to their loved one.

Balloon, dove, or a butterfly release at the graveside service

This can be a way to release emotion into an object and feel a part of the service.

Special food for the reception or visitation – “Grandpa loved homemade spaghetti”

The smell of certain foods can trigger fond memories of your loved ones which can provide great comfort.

Custom floral arrangements

Peace can come from the sight or smell of flowers.

Let our staff provide a helping hand.

Ideas

If you are looking for other ideas, the O’Connell staff will be able to help you and share their own experiences and thoughts regarding visitations and services.

Transportation

There may be times when transporting items for display may be difficult due to size or weight. Our staff is willing to help coordinate transport or even provide a helping hand to get those items to the funeral home and back to your home safely.

Opinion
