Guide to Funerals - Funeral for a Friend: Teacher

Funeral for a Friend: Teacher

Make a banner with his/her name, signed by her co-teachers and students and ask his/her family to hang it over his casket.
Arrange for every student in his/her own class to say a one-line deed that he/she has personally done to the student; ie. “…for helping me carry my books on the first day of class,” or “…for waiting up with me after school when mom forgot to pick me up.”
Make a scrapbook with all the best memories with your teacher. If he/she was an art teacher, each student may want to paste his/her own artwork on the scrapbook with a little dedication at the bottom. Or, if he/she was a music teacher, students may want to make their own song. If he/she was a science teacher, students may want to paste dried flowers or dried leaves, a bird feather, etc. Give this scrapbook to the family as means of comfort for their loss. The possibilities can be endless.
