Personalising a service

At Swanborough funerals we focus on personalizing the funeral service of your loved one. Below are listed some simple touches to reflect a loved one’s life and personality.

+ Placing a framed photo on the coffin of your loved one.

+ Placing memorabilia on or beside the coffin reflecting the person’s occupation, hobbies, sports, awards, or sentimental belongings.

+ Choosing favourite music to be played at funeral.

+ Playing of bagpipes, bugle or other instrument at service.

+ Placing of a single flower tribute, scattering rose petals or symbolic release of balloons or white doves at funeral service.

+ Organising a guard of honour formed by a club, association or workplace if applicable.

+ If appropriate having family or friends participate in sections of the service: conducting the eulogy and sharing a tribute, poem, scripture, quote or short message.

We trust that some of these options assist you in creating the life honouring service for your loved one.
