Funerals don’t have to feel like incredibly formal and traditional events. If that’s what you’re interested in, of course there is nothing wrong with that. But you may want to do things a little differently, and you may want to add a personal touch of some kind. That’s okay, too. Working with the right funeral home goes a long way toward realizing those kind of goals. If you or someone you know is looking for funerals homes in or near Indianapolis, IN, you should know that there is one in your area that can make your hopes a reality. Funerals aren’t all the same. And they really shouldn’t be. Adding a personal touch can distinguish a funeral or memorial service and make sure that guests have the right kind of experience as well. 

O’Riley - Branson Funeral Service & Crematory really wants you and your family to have everything you need when it comes to something like a funeral or memorial service. To accomplish that, it is important that we speak early and often. The more we talk, the more likely your service is to be exactly what you want it to be. Every conversation matters, and every conversation can accomplish a great deal with respect to the planning process itself. Funeral plans don’t have to be an afterthought, and they don’t have to be a last-minute question. Getting a head start will make it easier for you to add that personal touch, and that’s always good to remember. Let’s talk. 

Adding a personal touch doesn’t have to be a headache, and it doesn’t have to come at a great cost. Even small gestures can really do a lot. And those small gestures can take a number of different forms. Something like a video tribute, for example, can really set a tone and contribute to the service in a really unique fashion. Video tributes aren’t very hard to put together, either. That’s something that we can handle, or—if you want to take the lead—your family can work on it as well. They generally require some photographs and videos, perhaps some music, and of course a little editing. This is the kind of personal touch that can change a funeral in all the right ways. 

You can also think about things like location and decor. We all know that traditional funerals may include a photograph of the deceased and little else. It doesn’t have to be that way. While more formal occasions may not involve a lot of extras in general, there really aren’t any rules prohibiting some additional things like artwork, collages, photographs, and more. Again, these are the kind of things that can really set a funeral or memorial service apart. And that’s the idea. They should always reflect what you and your loved one care about, and anything that achieves that outcomes is a good idea. There is a lot of flexibility involved as well, so please talk to us about what you have in mind.
