The use of symbols in a funeral service can enhance the significant aspects of a person's life, and help create a very personal atmosphere for the service. Photos and flowers add to the ambience that is being created.
- Candles are generally recognized as a universal symbol of love, light and hope. Candle lighting during the service is always a very poignant ritual.
- A Flag draped over a coffin, the playing of the Last Post, and the red poppies used in the RSL tribute, speak to us of a person's contribution to his or her country.
- Other flags symbolic of the deceased country of birth are also available.
- Academic, sporting or community achievement awards also tell us what has been achieved in a person's life.
- Art, craft, other artifacts and hobbies add to the dimension of the person whose life is being honored.
