The Five Steps to the Commemoration of a Lifetime

Friday, December 17th, 2010

Your loved one left a legacy which could be described through thoughts, feelings and emotions.  Throughout their life special memories marked their passions and interests which can be captured in their final farewell.  The choices can seem overwhelming, but there are really only five key steps to making cremation arrangements.

  1.  A service or gathering can help pay tribute to a life well lived.  It can be as simple or elaborate as you wish, and the experience can be as unique as the individual being honored.  
  2. The selection of a cremation casket or container is an important and necessary step.  Your choice of service will help determine the right cremation container.  Beautifully detailed cremation caskets suitable for a traditional memorial service, to the most basic container for transport are available in our extensive casket line. 
  3. Where do you wish to spend your remembrance visits?  The selection of a permanent remembrance site allows family and friends to reflect on memories and pay respect.  Whether it is the prestige of custom estate niches, the personalization options of glass front niches, or the serenity of in ground cremation burial, there are many options to best fit your personal preferences.

Custom Video Tributes by Evergreen Washelli

Custom Video Tributes by Evergreen Washelli

Evergreen Washelli provides remembrance documentaries to family members who wish to cherish their loved one’s memory with a professionally produced mini-movie on DVD. These memorials can be prepared for presentation during a service in our chapels, as well as enjoyed at home as a keepsake for your family. Each remembrance documentary takes you on a photographic journey honoring their life, while accompanied by beautiful music. Video tributes allow us to create a video that helps the family share special moments, recall fond memories and celebrate the life of their loved one. The video tribute becomes a treasured keepsake for the family to share with generations to come.

The sequence of photos, paintings, drawings, and poems that your family provides will create a loving story in a style that best expresses your loved one’s life, whether it be sentimental, patriotic, or lyrical. Images of your memories are animated with motion and transitions similar to that of biographical documentaries seen on television. Your professional life story is set to a musical score that reflects the life of your loved one. Video tributes also include custom labeling and packaging. With our expert pairing of sound and images, we will create a presentation that will not only move you and your family, but be remembered forever.
