Hi, my dh put a framed photo of our children and his sisters children by the casket at the funeral and found a poem for the vicar to read which was beautiful, I think he just googled nana passing poems and it took a while but we eventually found the right words, or write one yourself if you feel upto it. He also did a picture in a frame of baby angels (his nana loved children) and put R.I.P nana on it, his grandad has kept all these and all the family commented on what a lovely tribute it was. The songs we had played were connie talbert-over the rainbow and connie talbert-I will always love you, we chose them as connie is a six year old girl and goes with the theme of children, she doted on her grand/great grandchildren. I hope i have helped and not waffled. I am so sorry again.xxOriginally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR
Thankyou again everyone
I've got two ideas for memory boards/pictures and was wondering what you guys think. I was only able to find a few pictures of Nannie (she RARELY took pictures)....so I was thinking of putting the ones I found in a nice collage picture frame for the viewing, and then blowing up the one of her dancing with my nephew and putting it in a large frame by the casket (all of my family members love that picture.)
Since I can't find many pictures of Nannie, I thought about making a huge memory picture board with pictures of all of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren on it. I was thinking about putting this Bible verse on the top of it (Proverbs 31:28) "Her children rise up and bless her." (I have pictures of pretty much everyone else in my family and would be able to include everyone...so that's why I was thinking about doing that. That way, nobody gets left out and she is surrounded with pictures of her loved ones.)
Would that be appropriate?

I really do think its a touching tribute, have you heard of the website gone too soon?, my hubby isn't ready to do that yet but it is a great website for people to remember their loved ones. Dh's nana we feel was failed by doctors and unfortunately when she got care it was too late for her but it is a blessing to know that she is free from pain now,like I said it takes time but the funeral is the main goodbye and you have got to make that as special as you want it to be,your ideas show just how much you adore your nana and what a great impact she had in your lives. Feel free to pm me if you want to chat, I had a pretty tough time when she passed but talking helps.xxOriginally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR
ThankyouThat is a big help! I'm glad to know someone else chose to do pictures/etc for the funeral of their loved one! I just wanted to run that by you guys and make sure that it was appropriate before I made the memory boards and framed the pictures.
