Remember our loved ones in death,
for the unique lives they possessed.
A motorcade of Harleys rolling down the street, a balloon release on a golf course, or a video tribute filled with music by the Rolling Stones. The traditional funeral is changing. Funerals are no longer simply memorializing a death. They are uplifting and personal. They are celebrations of life. Each funeral will capture the uniquiness and special attributes of your loved one's character.
The growing trend in funeral service to create a more personal tribute to the deceased is heavily attributed to the aging "baby boomer" generation. The boomers are changing a funeral into a more meaningful experience, and the O'Connell Family is encouraging families they serve to make each service unique.
Personalizing a funeral service also helps in the grieving and healing process. By planning a personalized funeral, families learn to focus on a life lived rather than a life lost. These services help individuals remember the special times they spent with their loved one, as well as help them to heal by making the death a reality. Many also find comfort in recognizing their loved one's accomplishments and the lives they touched. Individuals have expressed that planning a personalized funeral for their loved one was a meaningful and unforgettable event.
