Non-Traditional Funerals

Non-Traditional Funerals

Jul 12, 2024 | 10:45 AM

Funerals are changing. Every funeral used to have relatively the same format, but funerals today have a lot more customization and personalization options. There aren’t rules on how you celebrate a life. For those looking for an alternative to the traditional funeral format, the options are endless.

Think about the things your loved one enjoyed while they were alive. We can help you find ways to incorporate those things into the service. Some ideas could include:

• Tim Hortons served at the luncheon
• Butterfly release
• Live band or a DJ
• Drinks at our full-service bar
• Cotton candy
• Popcorn
• Beer and Wings
• Poker night
• Golf putting green
• Board games
• Paint and wine night

Oliver's Funeral Home - 109 years of Service

Sep 04, 2024

Whatever their passions were in life, let’s include them in the service or gathering.

It is so meaningful when families include a special touch that truly honours their loved one’s life. We have had families bring a casket to the graveside in a horse-drawn wagon, use a women’s shoe collection as centerpieces for the tables, give away the deceased’s favourite candy to everyone, and serve their loved one’s favourite food.

In the same way that weddings now have more individual flair, funerals can be catered to individual preferences and tastes. Funeral directors are event planners and can be a valuable resource in planning your loved one’s final farewell. To learn more about how we can personalize a service, give us a call. 780-532-2929 or visit https://www.oliversfuneralhome.com/funeral-planning/unique-funerals/
