If your loved one enjoyed trying new recipes, you could consider organizing a dinner party that serves their favourite dishes. This could take place at someone’s home or at the deceased’s favorite restaurant. Family and friends can feel connected to the deceased through the food they loved, and can be together to share memories.
Was your loved one a musician or a dedicated fan of a singer/band? If so, you may want to consider showcasing that particular form of music for their celebration of life service. You could consider hosting a small tribute concert in memory of the deceased, where the genre of music they loved can be played.
If your loved one was a devoted sports fan of a specific team or avidly played a sport themselves, consider focusing the celebration of life around that team or sport. An idea for this could be organizing a golf or baseball tournament in honour of your loved one, or even attending a game of their favourite team.
