Are You Planning The Cremation Service Of Your Deceased Wife?

If your wife has recently passed away, you are more than likely experiencing one of the hardest times of your life. Besides grieving for your sweetheart, you may also feel the pressure of planning her funeral service in a way that will honor her and in a way that will comfort those who attend your wife's funeral service. Did your wife decide that she wanted to be cremated?

Perhaps you decided together that you would both be cremated at the time of your death. Planning your wife's cremation funeral service in a way that will help those who attend know her better will also bring closure so that you can all go forward without her. From arranging a visual display to planning the actual service, here are some ideas that might help you.

A Visual Display - Considering the fact that cremation means that there is no actual body to say goodbye to, think of ways that you can bring your wife's spirit into the picture. For example, consider creating a display of her life. Perhaps you could frame photographs of her from the time she was a little baby, her childhood years, your wedding picture, and even family pictures.

Consider, too, putting her favorite expressions out with the photographs. For example, if she would always say something like, See you in the funny papers! or Don't take any wooden nickels! as she said goodbye to people, include those words in the display. Think of putting some of her favorite personal belongings in the display.

For example, if she loved to bake, you could make an attractive display that would include things like measuring cups, measuring spoons, pot holders and an apron. For added interest, you could even print off one of her favorite recipes for friends to take home with them. Talk about personalizing a funeral service!

The Actual Service - Are your children willing to talk about the mother that raised them? Are you up to speaking at the funeral service yourself? Perhaps your wife had siblings, or maybe her parents are still living. If none of those individuals feels that he or she could speak without getting too emotional, then choose a close family friend to speak.

Either way, consider telling gentle and amusing stories about your wife's life. Tell things that people may not know about her. For example, if she was on the archery team in high school, that might be something fun to share with those who attend her cremation funeral service.
