Our personalized Memorial Blessing song was written to
honor and pay tribute to a lost loved one, as well as providing comfort
and solace to those left behind. The name of your departed loved one
is sung throughout the lyrics. It’s expressions of love, comfort
and spirituality can help with the healing process, and becomes a lasting
and tangible keepsake from the heart.
You can choose to have either a custom message ($5.00 extra) or a
non-custom one. In a custom message we use personal names. We record
the message unique to your order in our studio.
If you're planning a memorial service when time is of the essence
please email us or call toll free to place your order quickly. We always
give first priority to our memorial song orders if needed, and we'll
get it out as soon as we can to meet your needs. Depending on how we
have to mail it (Priority, Overnight, etc.) additional costs may apply.
We will email you promptly if such is the case.
We
use metallic gold CD's with thermal printing. Simply insert your
favorite wallet-sized photo inside the CD's photo-insert case upon
receiving your order. Full name and dates of birth & passing
are printed on both the CD and music manuscript.
The decorative music manuscript in
its decorative matted folder is especially meaningful for the memorial
by including the departed loved one’s full name along with
their dates of birth and passing (music manuscript is optional). The
folder for the sheet music is gold foiled and comes in either black
or white to match your CD’s photo-insert case.
Something
to consider: We don’t always sing the deceased’s
first name in the song. It depends on who will be getting the CD.
If it’s a parent or grandparent that has passed, it may be
more meaningful to sing “Mom” (or “Dad”)
or “Grandpa” (or “Grandma”) in the song
since that is what they were called. If used for the service, it
can be written in the program that this is a song of remembrance
from the family members. Example: if singing "Grandma" in the Memorial
song, it would be written up in the program that this Memorial song
is in remembrance from her grandchildren.
About duplicates: Once we make
the original CD, we can make extra duplicate copies for just 12.00
a piece. This works well if you want each family member to have
their own printed gold CD and photo-insert case. Sheet music duplicates
with folder are also available for $10.00 a piece.
Write Your Own
Poem Or Message. This is especially meaningful if you yourself
have lost a loved one and want to express your thoughts and feelings
to the one departed. This can be extremely helpful in the grieving
process. We narrate the poem or message for you and it becomes
a part of the song’s recording. Or perhaps you have something
from the service that you want us to narrate – some scripture,
poem or prayer. We narrate the poem or message for you and it becomes
a part of the song’s recording.
Memorial Poems & Prayers
Read through the following poems and
prayers and select the one that speaks to your heart. We offer both custom
and non-custom style poems. The custom style typically includes a short
preface at the beginning that uses personal names to indicate who it
is from or to. (See #2 below.) There is a $5.00 extra charge for custom
style poems or prayers. We go into the studio and record the poem with
a personalized preface unique for your order. Any of our poems or prayers
can be done custom or non-custom style. The key to whether it would
be custom or non-custom style is if we use personal names in the preface.
A more general intro such as "To all my family and friends" would not
be considered custom style.
There is no
extra charge for one. If you prefer to not have a poem or prayer
narrated on the CD that’s
fine too. It is optional. There is a place on the order form for
you to indicate the one you would like on your recording.
