3. A slideshow projection

Renting a memorial service space with fantastic A/V capabilities gives you plenty of options for tech-dependent memorial service decoration ideas. For example, you can decorate the walls by projecting photo slideshows onto different areas of the building.

This San Francisco community center is one such example of a great tech friendly space you can use to decorate the walls with digital photos. The space includes state-of-the-art audio and visual capabilities, as well as professional and experienced event staff to help you with any technical issues during the service.

4. Keep it simple

Keep the focus on the speakers, moments, and memories at the memorial service rather than the venue décor by opting for minimal decorations. A simply decorated space, like this historic venue in San Diego, is a perfect way to keep the memorial looking classy but not too over the top. The exposed brick and exposed wooden beams may be enough decoration on their own, without having to add anything extra.  

5. Classy artwork

For subtle yet meaningful memorial service decoration ideas, consider placing artwork throughout the venue that accurately reflects the tone of the service. You can find venues on Peerspace that come with artwork already in place that’s perfect for the occasion.

For example, the contemporary artwork and modern, industrial architectural style of this Atlanta home may be just what you are looking for in a memorial service venue.

6. Cultivate calming energy

Calming energy can be so important after a loss. It can help you find your peace and feel centered, even when the world feels as though it’s been spun into chaos. Renting a venue with simple, yet calming decorations is a powerful way for memorial service guests to calm their nerves and work back towards a sense of peace.

This naturally lit studio in Phoenix is a great example of a space that offers beautiful natural lighting and thoughtful decorations to provide a truly calming feel during the service.

7. An ode to their hobbies

Including your loved one’s hobbies in the memorial service can help you feel closer to them on this difficult day. For example, if your loved one had a passion for jazz music, you can host their memorial in a jazz bar like this one in San Francisco. This venue is where the legends like Miles Davis, James Moody, Lenny Bruce, and John Coltrane all performed!

8. Uplifting décor

Don’t worry about cleaning up the house during this hard time. Instead, invite guests to come to a bright, uplifting home that’s already clean, decorated, and ready for the memorial service when you walk in the door. On Peerspace, you can rent uplifting venues like this open-concept house in Los Angeles. Spanning 3,400 square feet, this home offers an entertainer’s backyard and ample natural light.
