When your loved one dies, you want to make sure that you are honoring them and memorializing them in a way that makes you happy and in a way that you think that they may want. There are a number of things that you can do with their funeral or memorial service to make it even more special. 

Dove Release

One thing that you can do is to arrange to have a dove release at some point during the service. You can arrange to have it outside the church before you go to the gravesite so that people who aren't going to the gravesite aren't left out of the event. You can also arrange to have it done graveside. If you aren't doing a traditional service that day but are planning for a memorial service at a later date, you can also arrange to have it that day. Doves have been used for centuries to symbolize peace and love, which can make them the perfect thing to release at a funeral. The doves are usually well trained by the company that releases them so that they will return to their home or to the cages that the handlers are holding. That way you don't have to worry about the doves trying to find a place to live or wild doves being taken simply for your enjoyment. Contact a company like Dove Tails MD to learn more. 

Photo Show

Another thing that you can do is to have some kind of photo show running during the viewing or as part of the funeral. The show could show various pictures of your loved one as well as video clips. The whole thing can be set to music, if you desire. You can arrange to have the show run on a continuous loop on a large TV screen next to your loved one's casket or somewhere else in the viewing room. That can let everyone remember your loved one in happier days and let everyone share memories of your loved one in a safe and peaceful place. You can use a show like this as a celebration of your loved one's life, which may be what they had wanted to have at their funeral. 

When you lose a loved one, you want to make sure that you are doing everything possible to have a funeral or memorial service that does justice and honor to your loved one. There are several things that you can do to make that happen.
