Funeral for a Friend

How do you say good-bye to a lifelong companion?  How do you say “thank you” or “I love you” to someone who had given much of him/herself selflessly?

A funeral for a friend could be one of life’s most hurtful good-byes.  But a personalized memorial for a friend can also be one of life’s most meaningful expression of love, gratitude and friendship that transcends physical distance.  Here are some guidelines and ways to personalize a funeral for a friend. 

When you plan or decide on a personalized memorial for a friend, always remember that memorial for a friend is both a way for you to express and cope with your friend’s loss and a way for your friend and friend’s family to know how much he/she is appreciated and loved.  A funeral for a friend is not so much as a personalized show during a funeral but a loving tribute that can call to mind ll the wonderful deeds, all the achievements, all the memories shared with your friend throughout his/her life.  Therefore, when you plan a memorial for a friend, it should be focused on all his/her interests.  Memorials for a friend should reflect the departed friend’s personality, character and talents and uniqueness.  Memorial for a friend should be all about your friend.
