Theme Funerals

At Elm Ridge, we pride ourselves on crafting custom ceremonies that truly reflect the memories of a life lived. Our goal is to help you express the most important events, hobbies, accomplishments, affiliations to truly create the life story of your loved one and transform that into a memorable funeral ceremony that is nothing like anything you have experienced before. There is no limit to the event planning that you can have. It is our experience that families and friends benefit from creating a personal theme that is a true reflection of a live well lived.

Golf Theme: This theme was created with the golf club and cart, trophy, and other personal items of someone who loved the game of golf. You can see the panel inside the open portion of the casket has been embroidered with a golf theme. Casket corners eflect a love of golf. There are many themes that are always available for both casket panels and corners. Custom panels incorporating a photograph or other artwork can be ordered with 48 hours notice giving families unlimited options for creating their personal themed ceremony.

Gardening: In this ceremony, the scene reflects the life on someone who loved the outdoors and gardening. Aside from having an outdoor visitation, the family provides some personal items aside from the normal range of photographs including a hat, boots, gardening tools, and a watering can. Of special note, the panel inside the top of the casket has a gardening theme and the bottom corners of the casket are made to receive a garden themed Life Symbol. The family can order extra corners that can be used as keepsakes for family and friends or a corner can be removed immediately prior to burial and used as a keepsake.

Patriotic: In this patriotic themed funeral ceremony, the gloves and foot locker would be provided by the family to give a truly personal contribution to the ceremony. A flag and flag case, patriotic mirror, and photo are added. You can also notice the patriotic casket panel adds another custom dimension to the service.
