Costs
The expense of a memorial service is significantly less than that of a funeral. The greatest cost, generally, is that of the venue. Rental of a reception or event hall usually includes chairs; if the ceremony is outside or at a home, you can arrange for chairs through an event equipment rental company, which will deliver and pick them up. Prices increase with additional accouterments (candles, flowers, photo arrangements, balloons, doves, butterflies, and so on). Memorial Service Checklist: ___Select the date ___Select a tone ___Select a venue ___Rent chairs ___Create a guest list ___Choose an officiant ___Select music for the ceremony ___Select speakers for the ceremony ___Select additional memorial accouterments ___Prepare and print memorial programs ___Write and submit the obituary Safety Precaution Some thieves check obituary notices and target homes they know will be vacant during a memorial service. If possible, arrange for someone to safeguard the deceased’s home during that time.
