Wear Jerseys 


Many people aren’t fans of dressing up for funerals and when you tell them they can come more casual and wear a jersey, it may make them a little excited. You can ask everyone to wear their favorite team jersey or you can ask them to wear a jersey of the team that your deceased preferred. You can also suggest that they wear other sports clothing such as team t-shirts and even hats. You can make the funeral as casual as you choose and ensure that everyone is comfortable and representing the sport 


Play Sports Recaps Or Clips 


If you are going to be planning a funeral that will have a sports theme you may be looking for ways to include sports that don’t require direct participation from guests. You can show sports clips on a TV at the funeral home so people can watch them while they are paying their respects. If your deceased loved one played sports, you can look for clips of them and play them as well. This will bring back a lot of memories and give guests something to talk about and distract them from their sadness. 


Sports Music 


If you aren’t a fan of traditional funeral music and are planning a sports-themed funeral you may want to consider playing sports songs. You can play the fight songs of different teams or other songs that remind you of the sport or your loved one. You don’t have to only play sports music, you can also play more traditional songs if you choose. You can have fun with the different music and songs you choose and make sure they are something your loved one would have enjoyed and that plays into the theme of the sports funeral. 


If you are planning a funeral for a loved one who was a fan of sports, you may also want to have a sports-theme funeral. You can do this at many funeral homes Franklin, IN.
