Donate Books

When you attend a funeral service, what do you expect to see? Funeral flowers, mourners, sympathy cards, flowers , etc. But what if things could be different? If you have just lost someone important in your life and are in charge of planning their funeral service, then you may be looking for ways to do things with a little more creativity. One of the first things that you could consider, especially if your loved one was someone who was an avid reader, is to donate their books. Whether you choose to donate their books to a library, a Goodwill, or to close family and friends is completely up to you. So long as you ensure that the books go into good hands and to those who will read them is all that truly matters in the end. We are certain that your loved one will be touched by this act, as sharing a favorite story or author is similar to sharing a piece of another person. You could also consider having a yard sale so that you can give out the books to strangers and neighbors face-to-face rather than simply dropping them off after. Finally, the most meaningful way that you can choose to donate your loved one’s books is by bringing them along to the funeral service to hand out to guests and attendees afterward. In this way, mourners will be able to be comforted to leave with a small piece of the deceased and something that once meant so much to them.

Select a Unique Casket

Many people are surprised to learn that there are other ways to ensure a casket is unique other than by selecting a specific style or material. Caskets are able to be engraved now with either quote, pictures, scripture, dates, names, and more. We suggest meeting with an experienced manufacturer so that they are able to bring your ideas to life. Additionally, you could also have family and friends include their own personal notes and artwork to the casket as well. In this way, people will walk away more comforted knowing that they had a hand in sending their loved one off. Learn more about our funeral home in Harlingen, TX!
