Honoring Your Loved One
When searching for ways to personalize a funeral service, remember the moments you spent with the person and try to highlight the qualities that she or he are remembered for. Consider hobbies, subjects of interest and places where the person spent much of his or her time. It can help to make lists of their passions, achievements and memories you shared together. There are a number of ways that these lists can be incorporated into a service:
Live Butterfly Release
Releasing live butterflies for a loved-one is a matchless way to tribute their life. We at Mercadante Funeral Home are committed to making your butterfly release a successful and memorable one!
Temporary Markers
The passing of a loved one can come unexpectedly. We offer temporary grave markers to be placed at the cemetery until a permanent marker can take its place.
Tribute Videos
Your family photographs are skillfully blended with wonderful graphic images and music, to create an elegantly emotive cinematic video. It can be an integral part of any funeral or memorial service. After the ceremony, the video is sure to become a treasured family keepsake. And, we can make copies as gifts for family and friends.
The memory video is a gift that we give to all of our families we serve. We will also make this video available on the obituary portion of our website for viewing at any time.
Tribute Candles
At Mercadante Funeral Home, we believe that it is important for your family to have something tangible after the funeral....something you can remember your loved one with each and every day. We offer each family free of charge a tribute candle that can be lit during the service and also at home. Many families tell us that lighting the candle of their loved one on their birthday or holiday helps them through difficult times.
Webcasting
We are always looking at ways in which we can improve the services we offer and we believe webcasting of a funeral will do this. This service is now available at Mercadante Funeral Home. Webcasting is not designed to, and cannot replace mourners attending the service in person it is very much to give those who cannot attend the chance to get involved.
Benefits of Webcasting:
- Friends and Family can participate in the service, even if they are not physically able to attend. They will be able to share in the event.
- The bereaved may be too upset to remember the service. This facility allows them to watch the webcast at a later time, for up to seven days after the funeral.
- It can provide comfort to the bereaved to know that those unable to make the funeral will be able to participate
Memorial Products
Our memorial bookmarks, service programs, prayer cards, and folders can all include a favorite photo, poem or prose tribute to your loved one. With the variety available to us through Memorial Products, we can add a uniquely caring element to your service, so your guests can leave with a treasured keepsake.
