Statistically, the average adult will be responsible for making final arrangements for a loved one approximately 1.6 times during their lifetime. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the most common age range for losing a parent is between the ages of 50-54.

Death is an inevitability that will touch us all. As such, wise individuals prepare for this event by having open conversations with family members and taking the time to plan ahead with a funeral home. Pre-planning allows you to place your wishes in writing and personalize your service.

We’re here to help you plan ahead for yourself or for a loved one. To begin this important process, contact us today at (208) 436-5636.

Delivering a eulogy at a funeral or memorial service is both an honor and a responsibility. Today we’re providing some tips and ideas to consider.

A proper eulogy should:
▪️Honor the deceased
▪️Reflect the deceased’s character and values
▪️Provide comfort and meaning to those in mourning

Eulogies usually consist of:
▪️A brief introduction and your relationship to the deceased
▪️Two or three meaningful stories, traits, or examples
▪️A closing reflection, lesson, or farewell

The length guideline of a eulogy is generally five to seven minutes. Unless instructed otherwise by the family, shorter is usually better.

A eulogy is not a reading of the obituary, nor is it intended to be a full biography.

When selecting content, consider the following:
▪️Warmth and gentle humor are acceptable if natural and respectful
▪️Make it personal - describe what the deceased meant to you
▪️Avoid negativity, controversy, or unresolved family dynamics

Losing your composure briefly is human - it is appropriate to have emotions arise.

When writing a eulogy, consider the following tips:
▪️Write the eulogy in full, even if you plan to speak naturally
▪️Practice aloud several times
▪️Bring a physical copy printed in a large font - do not rely solely on memory

When delivering a eulogy, consider the following tips:
▪️Speak slightly slower than normal
▪️Pause between thoughts
▪️Breathe intentionally if emotions surge - silence is acceptable and the audience will wait

Remember that the family and/or the audience is not judging your speaking ability. Instead, they are seeking recognition of the person they loved, validation of their grief, and a moment of shared remembrance.

If you have questions concerning the preparation of a eulogy, please contact us at (208) 436-5636.

National Self-Care Day is celebrated annually on April 5th. Taking good care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally is of the utmost importance, especially during the grieving process.

Here are five tips to get you started:

1. Be kind to yourself and take all the time you need to grieve.

2. Be positive and look towards the future with hope.

3. Relieve your sadness. Cry when needed.

4. Take care of your physical body. Grief is physical as well as emotional.

5. Record your thoughts as you recover and practice some form of journaling.
