"Library of Life" - a new service from Alla Landar
President of the International Association of Funeral Directors, National Member from Ukraine in the World Federation of Funeral Directors (FIAT-IFTA), “Honored Service Worker of Ukraine” and Head of the Private Firm “Petro Velikiy” Alla Landar launched a new service “Library of Life”.
An innovation from the company “Petro Velikiy” is an opportunity to pay the last respects to a person, making a journey into their life path within minutes.
A handmade secretary from French designers will open an exhibition of photographs from different times, making an excursion into the past: memories of childhood, stages of education and formation, family, profession, unforgettable trips, moments of holidays and anniversaries. The exhibition will be crowned by an antique watch from Swiss masters, reminiscent of the last minute of life on the threshold of eternity.
A glass niche will shelter a memorable award, and personal belongings will find their place on the shelves next to the photo. An old icon, a family album, a favorite book, a wedding bowl, a musical instrument, antiques... Vivid touches to the portrait will make you more fully understand the personality, its tastes, hobbies and preferences, reveal the character and even lifestyle.
Few people have touched a family album. Old photos... It would seem that only a moment of life, a second, is reflected, and now it is already history.
We peer into the face, consider what they are wearing, what objects surround them... They are the same as us. They smile, worry in front of the lens. We secretly feel uncomfortable. We catch ourselves thinking: we contemplate those who are no longer with us, and they, as before, smiling at each other, continue the gesture they started or simply look at us from completely different shores...
This is a screen for projections of our unconscious feelings and fantasies. Focusing our attention on them, peering into photos of strangers from other eras, we see ourselves in them, guessing our own unconscious desires and feelings.
Everyone will make an excursion into the past with an improvised museum of one person, and at the same time write a few lines with their feelings and warmth in the book of memory "Man of the Era". From the variety of memories, a whirlwind of sincere dedications will be born, providing material for understanding who this Man was and will forever remain in memory...
Those present will receive a personal space for the last opportunity to address someone on his last day on Earth. Delve into his past with the “Library of Life” to say and write the right words today. The dedications will be of interest to everyone who will continue the biography of the family’s life history in the next generations.
“I am convinced that the new service will receive favorable support from public opinion and will deserve its high assessment,” says Alla Landar, “from now on, when organizing a farewell ceremony, our company “Peter the Great” will always offer the “Library of Life” together with the “Man of the Era” memory book to each family in a moment of irreparable loss.”
Together with the “Man of the Era” memory book – a family relic and artifact – the “Library of Life” will become an exceptional addition to understanding the person who is leaving us forever, remaining in our memories, the history of the family with its cohort of bright personalities, significant events and unique moments of life.
