The Many Ways to Personalize a Loved One’s Farewell

For many of the families we serve in Indianapolis, Greenwood, Pendleton, and surrounding communities, a memento of a loved one can be incredibly comforting in the days and months following a death. With many memorial items to choose from at Wilson St. Pierre, you are sure to find something that represents your loved one.

For friends and family who had a loved one who served in the military, you may want to purchase a flag display frame. The display frame encases the folded flag given to you by the branch of service your loved one served in and gives you a unique way to honor your loved one and to preserve the flag. The experienced staff at Wilson St. Pierre will be able to craft the most honorable farewell for your veteran friend or family member.

A video tribute is a great way to enhance a service and also provides a way for future generations to relate to the life lived. Picture images, music, and dialogue can bring the story to life and serve as a remembrance for future generations.

Some families who choose cremation opt for a more dramatic option. For example, there is a company who will put a portion of your loved one’s cremated remains on board a commercial or scientific satellite to send the departed into space. Another company mixes cremated remains into an artificial reef to be placed in the ocean to provide a home for sea creatures.

When it comes time to plan a farewell for your loved one, the compassionate and knowledgeable staff at Wilson St. Pierre will help you create a service that honors their memory and pays tribute to their culture, values, hobbies and accomplishments.

If you choose to make your own prearrangements with Wilson St. Pierre, these are decisions you can make for yourself. From top to bottom, you can craft your own service and choose the memorialization items that are right for you.
