The Good And The Bad On Memorial Ideas

During the course of my life and every so often in our day

, I bump into really good memorial ideas. The same applies to really bad memorial ideas also. You might be thinking that all of this is a matter of individual taste and preference, but ask yourself the following: what makes a good or bad memorial idea? Is it individual taste? Is there a specific reason why a memorial is considered really good or really bad.

The intent of this text is to address these above questions as well as to explain a template of success that you and your committee can use to find and determine the best memorial ideas.

This guide to success was composed by asking a hand-full of unique questions to all kinds of people, including: partners, friends and especially clients. I am confident that as you read these questions that you will find them somewhat logical, if not obvious. Whatever we do in life as human beings, there always exists a natural tendency to want answers quickly. Consider these tendencies as you discuss these questions and search for well determined answers.

Ask yourself this next or first question: what is the objective of the monument? Memorials can serve a whole range of different objectives. To answer this question, which again may seem obvious to some, is to really learn what the objective of the monument will be. Will the monument have more of an educational purpose? Is it more motivational? Etc. I suggest you write down such questions and discuss this with your committee and determine what answer is before asking yourself the next or second question.

Second question: What are the emotions that you are wanting to capture with the memorial? This can be a real tricky endeavor. Emotions are often hard to define and pin down. Having said that, I will make you this promise; the more time you and your committee spend time discussing this particular question, the better time you will have spent doing so and the more powerful the overall reaction to your project will be in years to come. Emotions that you might want to capture could be: patriotism, respect, sorrow for an event, honor for the dead or the living, freedom, liberty or responsibility.

Third question (3): Who is the audience that will be affected and influenced by the memorial? As with the second question, there is a challenge in pinning down your audience also. To some this might be a question not worth discussing. The answer to this question might seem obvious also; "everyone knows who the audience is." Ask yourself these additional questions: is your audience made up of adults that are in their middle age? Are they males or females, (single) college students, youth, or senior citizens? If you determine your audience to be everyone, it will appeal passionately to no one at all. It is crucial to determine what your core audience is going to be.

These three questions and their thought through answers can help you find and execute your memorial ideas. Like with any other endeavor in your life, make sure to start with the final result / end goal in mind.
