The best thing about designing your own funeral prayer cards is that you can customize it with any Bible verse, prayer, or quote.
The original purpose of a funeral prayer card is to honor the memory of the departed loved one through prayer. The card is a small keepsake that family members and friends can take home from the memorial service and use in their prayers for the grieving family while remembering the life and legacy of the deceased.
Here is an important yet often overlooked funeral planning tip:
Bring a friend with you to the funeral home. (And cemetery/crematorium/flower shop/venue, etc.)
Having a friend to help plan a funeral is a brilliant decision. Not only for moral support but to help you make (or avoid) some impactful, weighty, and often expensive decisions.
After all, when you are burying a loved one you don’t want to make an emotional choice that you later regret. A good friend at your side can make all the difference between agonizing stress and the freedom to mourn, honor, and remember a loved one.
Did you know that there are biodegradable urns designed to make a water burial ceremony or sea scattering beautiful, memorable, and easy?
There are few things more important in life than knowing and communicating what we want after our passing. This is especially true if you plan for your final disposition to be something other than the traditional casket burial at a cemetery. For instance, cremation with a water burial or scattering at sea.
Having carefully laid out our plans and communicating them to our loved ones is such a sign of love and self-respect. Once they know your final hopes for disposition, that burden can be lifted off of them.
When it comes time to get specific, well, some of us get really specific! For those of you who are desiring a water burial or scattering at sea or in a marine environment, our cremation urn experts have done the research for you.
Or perhaps your loved one left instructions, stating their desire for a water burial? In which case we have many options that we are sure they approve of.
Please note that the biodegradable urns for ashes below will work for almost any body of water, including the ocean, lakes, or even large ponds and rivers.
When scattering into smaller creeks, we would recommend using a traditional scattering urn (for pouring out the ashes), not a biodegradable water urn.
How long after death is a funeral held? When will cremation happen? What is the best day of the week for the funeral? What time …
There is no one right thing to say at a funeral service. In some way, we’re all doing our best to express the jumble of feelings that surface with the loss of a father. One way of expressing those feelings is through poetry; and more specifically, funeral poems for dad.
The feelings you are experiencing can include heartache, sadness, regret, joy at his memory, humility and awe at his legacy, and perhaps some mixture of bitterness and respect, love and anger, longing and peace.
