I Need to Scrap a Funeral

My mother-in-law passed away last year, and I still haven't scrapped the photos from her funeral. Do you have any kit recommendations for me?

Also, I'd love to see your pages that cover such a difficult day.
 
I don't have any layouts with that theme, but I found something in the store that might work.



 
i used the kit posted by Sara but i didn't scrap the actual funeral, it's hard to scrap such occasion ((hugs))

 
I've scrapped two funerals. My Nana's and my sister's Grandfather in-law. I'm really glad I have these memories scrapped. It helps us remember them and how beautiful their services were.

For my Nana's page I used:
Cindy's Layered Templates - Double It Up: Blocked 1, and
Dreamer by Kristin Cronin-Barrow because Nana's favourite colour was purple.





For the other page I used:
Double It Up - Set 22 by Cindy Schneider, and
Stories - 365 by Kristin Cronin-Barrow, as I wanted a neutral yet masculine palette since the photos were all so busy.

No actual funeral pages here either but I journaled my emotions after my grandma passed away:

A peaceful one:





And a darker one: (I believe this kit is retired but in case you have it in your stash it's Feeling Blue by Sugary Fancy)

 
I'm sorry :( It's hard to scrap the hard events too, but it can be therapeutic. I've never had to scrap a funeral, since we didn't do one for my niece, but I have made multiple pages for her. here is one:

I've scrapped memorial albums - one for a horse and another for a dog... both for my cousins. I also so one for my husband's grandma. KCB's kits lead well because of all the flowers.

Here is a really old page I did - I believe the kit was halloween type kit, ha.
 
I'm still stalling on scrapping my grandparents' deaths. (They both passed away within the last few years.) I don't have any photos of the funerals, so I plan to use a favorite photo of them and what related items I do have. For my grandmother, that will be a copy of the Eulogy that my father sent me. For my grandfather, it will be a copy of his obituary and a photo of the flag that his coffin was draped with.
 
I am equally looking forward to, and dreading, scrapping my mother's 6 month battle with rapid progression dementia and passing this summer at the age of 56 years old. I'm not ready yet, but flagged this post for when I am.
 
I scrapped my mother's funeral when she passed in 2014 after a 10 month battle with Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer. It was hard, but therapeutic as well. I actually scrapped her entire life, and made photo books for my siblings. It was especially for my younger brother who wasn't able to be there for her during this time. I wanted him to have closure as well. My mom wanted a celebration rather than a funeral, and asked that we not wear black... these pages reflect that. I used an assortment of kits.

Hope this helps you decide how to scrap your precious memories.

Oh Adi, what a touching tribute page.
 
Is there a way to follow or mark this thread? My mom passed away last week after a long battle with cancer and while I'm not quite ready to scrap the visitation and funeral yet, I do want to have these thread for when I am ready.
 
Can you drag the address to your desktop? Or save to a favourites folder on your computer?
