What’s a Celebration of Life Service and How Do You Plan One?

Martens Warman Funeral Home, LTD. • Nov 16, 2020

After the cremation service in Osler, SK has been completed and you’ve been given your loved one’s ashes in an urn, what can you do to honor their memory? There are plenty of options available. You could, for instance, plan a celebration of life service. Such an event is all about, as the term suggests, celebrating the life of the deceased. Here’s how to plan one.

Set a Budget

It’s always best to budget. If you want to keep costs low, you might want to have a small celebration of life service in the home of a family member. You don’t have to spend a lot of plan a meaningful event that honors the dead and encourages the living. Once you decide what the budget will be, you can then work with your family to figure out what needs to be purchased.

Choose a Theme

You might also wish to choose a theme. It’s not absolutely critical to go with a theme, but doing so can make the celebration of life event all the more meaningful. Was the deceased a music lover? If so, maybe you will want to play songs from their favorite band or artist during the event. If they had a green thumb and loved to work out in the garden, you might want to furnish the venue with plants or even to hold the event outdoors. You might want to brainstorm with family to figure out a theme that will honor the memory of the dearly departed in a meaningful way.

Choose Venue and Other Particulars

You’ll of course want to decide where to hold it, what day to hold it, and what time to hold it. After discussing things with loved ones, you’ll be better able to make these decisions.

Plan Program

While you can have an informal program, it’s still a good idea to have some sort of structure. You can have someone read the eulogy, have a few people talk about what the deceased meant to them, have others read poetry, and more. Create a printed program that lists the order of events, and ensure that everyone at the celebration of life event gets one. If you will have a meal afterward, you’ll want to decide if everyone will bring something, if one or more people will prepare the meal, or if the meal will be catered.
