Honoring Life with Personalized Funeral Services

"Everyone at Callaway-Jones went above and beyond to make our Grandmother's Celebration of Life effortless and beautiful."

Bless Bond Stennis
Funeral Home Client

Your loved one will be honored in a way that is most befitting to the life they lived. Personalizing their service helps tell their story and becomes a way to make a funeral service or celebration of life more meaningful when honoring the life they lived. We strive to help you communicate to your family and friends the joy and meaning of your loved one’s life.

At Callaway-Jones Funeral and Cremation Centers we offer funeral personalization ideas and services that are new and unique to each family we serve. If desired, we step out of the box and create a lasting and memorable personalized service all your guests will appreciate. These include memory tables with displays of treasured possessions such as trophies, medals, certificates, tools from a favorite hobby, or other personal items that bring back memories. We also offer these unique personalization options described below.

Tribute Blankets

We offer 5 foot Tribute Blankets to many of our families that provide us with a high quality photo. The blanket is a guaranteed hit that will be a centerpiece of the memorial, become a precious heirloom displayed in a family’s home. Our blankets are fully customized, machine washable, with a woven photograph to commemorate your loved one. The tribute blankets are non-fading, and designed to be used and cherished for generations to come.

Certified Life Celebrant and
Tribute Professional

Because we focus on Life and Legacy, and ask “How do you want to be remembered?” we listen when you share.  Have you attended a funeral where the officiant is not a member of local clergy? Times change and so do your needs, even if it’s just a small group who needs flexibility and creativity. Some families ask us to design an appropriate service for a loved one who didn’t belong to a specific religious faith. Or you want a nontraditional remembrance of life outside a sanctuary or funeral center. We remain committed to serving the needs of a contemporary society while remaining steeped in the tradition you’ve come to expect of us.

 

We’re pleased to introduce Dawn Lee Wakefield as our exclusive Certified Life Celebrant and Tribute Professional, available exclusively through Callaway-Jones.

Dove Release at the Gravesite​

Dove Release at the Gravesite

At funerals and memorials, the dove release memorial is the final part of the service. The release is often accompanied by a heart-felt poem that is read by a close family member or clergy official. A dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit, love, peace, hope, and the should. A white dove release offers a soothing touch in a time of sadness and sorrow.

Bagpipe Player

The sound of the bagpipe is probably most associated with funeral services and the song “Amazing Grace.” The bagpipe adds a solemn and dignified touch to the funeral ceremony and can help communicate a sense of closure. A nice touch at the beginning of the graveside funeral service is to have the bagpiper start at a distance away and slowly march toward the gathering. At the conclusion of the ceremony it is quite popular to have the bagpiper playing while slowly marching off into the distance.
