A Meaningful Virtual Memorial Service enables you to be together with family and friends to remember your loved one— either virtually or in a combined virtual/in-person funeral service or shiva minyan. Our chaplains and service leaders can officiate at the service or work with your Rabbi or Cantor to create a memorial service that reflects and honors your loved one.
Zoom is a great way to bring people together, but you shouldn’t have to worry about managing a Zoom room so soon after your loss. Let our experienced team admit attendees, control the mute and unmute functions, play videos, spotlight speakers, and troubleshoot any technical difficulties, so you can focus on the service.
We can provide a customized invitation– including Zoom etiquette instructions for those who have never been to a virtual service—and space for 100 attendees in the Zoom room. If you have selected a clergy member or officiant, we will meet with them to discuss placement of equipment and learn their needs so we can best support them during the service. We will work with the funeral home to ensure strategic placement of equipment so the people on Zoom can see the officiant as well as the attendees who are physically there— and so you can see those who attend the service virtually.
If you would like us to officiate, we will meet with the immediate family on Zoom to discuss what type of service you would like, and what songs, prayers, photos and readings you’d like included. Based on your desires, we design custom service slides, so everyone attending can see the words to Kaddish, and the other prayers and songs. We can also create a beautiful photo or video montage to celebrate your loved one’s life.
A big part of a Meaningful Memorial is sharing stories and being with friends and family during this sad time. In addition to facilitating community sharing, you can invite specific groups of attendees (i.e. neighbors, extended family, book club members, etc.) to continue visiting in ‘break-out rooms’ after the service— and you’ll be able to join them.
If requested, we can record the service and create a keepsake book for you to share with those unable to attend.
Each service is customized; prices start at $500 and can vary depending on what you choose to include. To schedule your service, or for more information about Meaningful Memorials, call Joanne at 407-718-8260 or email her at joanne@calligraphers.com.
If you don’t need the entire custom service package, you can hire one of our trained Zoom techs, and create a beautiful commemoration to share. Order through the buttons below.
