Purchase a large, keepsake photo or scrapbooking album to make a special tribute book of the deceased. Contact close family members, friends, special neighbors or trusted business associates for candid shots to include. Make it more personal by asking them to recall a special memory or anecdote they would be willing to have included in the album. Then scrapbook in those personal mementos. Have the finished album open for display at the memorial service. Afterwards, the album can be presented to a close family member as a special keepsake.

Set up a large banquet-style table at the memorial. Contact close family members, friends, special neighbors, sports teammates or college friends for a favorite photo they might have of the deceased or themselves and the deceased. Frame the photos in whatever size and shape fit the photo or have the person donating the photo bring it already framed. Arrange the photos on the banquet table for service attendees to look through.

Create a large free-standing or framed collage of memorable photos for display at the memorial. Use scrapbooking techniques to include depictions of a favorite hobby or interest of the person. Contact close family members, friends, special neighbors or trusted business associates for candid shots to include in the collage. For a more finished product, frame the collage under glass and display on an easel at the service.

Experts at Photodex suggest creating a slideshow of favorite photos of the deceased to show at the memorial service. Choose a digital software product to create the slideshow and request digital photos from close relatives and friends. Scan in any paper copies of photos you want to include that are not already formatted as digital files. Add special or meaningful music over the slideshow as background and have the memorial service providers set up a screen for viewing.
