Nowadays it’s becoming more common to personalize a loved one’s funeral. This is a great way to celebrate their individual interests, talents, and accomplishments alongside family and friends. At Nalley Pickle & Welch Funeral Home & Crematory, we encourage every family to plan a service honoring what made their loved one so special. There are a variety of ways to do this, and our experienced professionals will help you find the perfect one for you and your family. 

Incorporate photography and video.
A popular way to memorialize a loved one is to integrate images of them into the service. Whether it’s photos or videos, our team can help you craft a meaningful tribute video to play before, during, or after the service. You may also choose to showcase photos featuring significant moments from your loved one’s life into a memory table set up at the venue of your choice. 

  Plan an outdoor release ceremony.
Saying goodbye to a loved one is difficult but sending something out into the atmosphere in their honor can help encourage an emotional release. Our team can help your family arrange an eco-friendly balloon release, a butterfly release, or a dove release, depending on your family’s preferences. Whatever you choose to set free, it’s a beautiful act that helps comfort those who are grieving. 

Hold a catered reception.
Gathering with friends and family to share food and memories in your loved one’s honor provides an opportunity for healing. Whether it’s a sit-down dinner or casual appetizers, a reception is a beautiful gesture both for the loved one you have lost and those who are left behind. We are honored to offer the Welch Reception Center to all of our families in using its comfortable, elegant spaces. We will gladly advise you on every aspect of your loved one’s reception. 

Personalize the casket or urn.
Whether you choose traditional burial or cremation, you can personalize the merchandise however you wish. We can help you select an elegant floral arrangement to enhance your loved one’s casket or inscribe a special phrase or quote on a cremation urn. There are many ways to memorialize your loved one, and our knowledgeable staff can offer guidance.
