When you start thinking about the obituary for a loved one, you may want to write it yourself instead of leaving it to the funeral home to do. If that is the case, you may need to find ways of personalizing the obituary to show who your loved one was. If that is something that you are worried about, there are some tips that directors of funeral homes in Northeast Philadelphia, PA<\/a> want you to consider.<\/p>\n

You want to think about the hobbies and passions your loved one had and think about adding examples to the obituary. Instead of just listing the things they enjoyed doing, examples can help bring the person to the forefront. If the person loved a sports team, you can share how many games they went to see or if they had any memorabilia they loved. For animal lovers, you can share whether they volunteered at a shelter or liked birdwatching. By sharing these kinds of things, you can let the reader know more about who the person really was.<\/p>\n

You want to also consider the tone of the obituary. This can be crucial. Some people think that all obituaries have to be somber but that is not the case. Many people prefer to add humor and that work very well if your loved one was someone who had a sense of humor and would have preferred some of it added to the obituary. Do not be afraid to change the tone of the obituary so that it reflects more who the person was.<\/p>\n

At the end of the obituary, lots of people mention the services and their pertinent information, but you can also make this a bit personalized. You can add a special request. If the person had a particular type of flower they loved, you can ask people to donate them to the service. You can also think about skipping the flowers and asking for a donation to a charity that deals with something your loved one was concerned about. This can add some uniqueness to the end of the obituary while also helping the cause your loved one worried about.<\/p>\n
