tips for planning a funeral for yourself

3 Unique Ways To Honor The Life Of A Golf Lover

Golf lovers have a dedication to the sport that often expands beyond just a hobby. When a golf lover in your life passes away, you can honor their love of the game with the funeral services you plan. Funeral homes will help you plan ideas, come up with special moments, and make the service truly unique to the person. 

Check out some of the unique ways to honor the life of a golf lover at their memorial service. You can use the ideas directly or apply personal touches to each moment.

1. Custom Memorial Golf Balls & Tees

Many memorial services include special prayer cards, photos, or other small keepsakes to remember a person by. Choose a golf-themed keepsake. For example, you could order custom-printed golf balls. The golf balls could appear simple with a name printed around the ball. The golf balls could also feature just the initials of a person.

You could also consider printing longer text on the ball like a rest-in-peace message or the birthday and the death date of the loved one. You could also add an extra touch with a custom picture of the person printed right on the ball.

If you want something a little more affordable then consider ordering custom wooden tees. The tees could feature custom text on the sides to honor the loved one. You could select multiple color finishes on the tee and place them in a bowl for guests to grab when they enter. A funeral home can help you set up the special gifts or hand them out individually to guests.

2. A Dedication Putt

A funeral home could help you set up a small putting green in the funeral home. As guests arrive, they can take a special dedication putt in honor of the loved one who has passed away. The small putt is a nice way to honor their love of golf.

Once the service is complete, the funeral home can place the putter inside of the casket and bury it with the loved one to help create a special connection and moment.

3. Memorial Stone Designs

Part of the funeral planning will include gravestone designs. You can add a personal touch with various golf designs. For example, you could select a laser-engraved headstone that showcases a golf ball on a tee, a golf club, or a full design of a golf green. Come up with different ideas to honor your loved one and create a stone that will last a lifetime.

Consult with funeral homes in your area to plan out the services and incorporate golf themes as much as you need to.
