How Funeral Directors Help Celebrate Life

by Expert Contributor Robert L. D’Anjolell, Jr., F.D., of DANJOLELL Memorial Homes

Funeral Directors understand that everyone’s life is a unique story that’s meant to be shared with their loved ones. The acts and events during which a loved one’s story is shared help those left behind express their grief and find joy in fond memories of their loved one. Funerals are traditionally a way for friends to share, comfort and support a family during a sad and sometimes heartbreaking time.

Today’s funerals now serve a dual purpose: Comforting the family and honoring the unique person who has passed. Funeral and Memorial Homes offer countless opportunities to incorporate personalized funeral ideas into ways we can memorialize our loved ones, including ways our loved ones might remember us.

Funerals can be traditional or informal, religious or new age, eco-friendly, or any theme that meant a lot to your loved one. A memorial funeral service allows us to celebrate and remember everything we treasure about our loved one and their time with us.

Because there are so many possibilities and often so many details to immediately consider at a time of sadness, funeral planning professionals are a crucial resource. Their knowledge about and skill in planning events that celebrate life provide lasting comfort for family members and their friends.

Funeral Directors have the expertise to guide families through funeral planning and can help tell each unique story in the best way possible. Truly touching memorial services require an understanding of an individual’s personality, beliefs, interests and milestones. Are you equipping your loved ones with stories that create memories today and will help them remember you after you’re gone? Will they know...

…what your childhood was like?

…how you met the love of your life?

…your favorite place in the world?

…the funniest thing you ever experienced?

…what motivated you through tough times?

Create those memories by telling your stories. Tell your stories now. And consider your options to pre-plan and pre-fund your own funeral. Doing so enables you to tell your story your way. It also relieves the financial burden on your family, as a final sign of your love for them.

Funerals are more important than you might think: They provide an opportunity for your loved ones to express their emotions while celebrating and remembering your life. A personalized funeral or memorial service helps bring joy and closure to your loved ones. The Funeral Director can help a grieving family build a beautiful celebration of life that highlights cherished memories shared by many.
