Memorial Keepsakes
Dealing with the loss of someone dear is a difficult part of life. Many tell you that you need to allow yourself time to mourn so you can work through the grief. Remember, this is not an easy or fast process. To help you, maybe having something or somewhere to go that could bring you closer to your loved one would help.
Rememberance Jewlery
You have experienced a sad loss. You want to remember your loved one and keep them near throughout your day. Remembrance jewelry could help you add that comfort.
You will find that there are many styles and designs for remembrance jewelry. The styles are from being simple to the more ornate. The design of each piece serves to honor the memory of your loved one.
You begin by deciding if you would like a necklace, bracelet, ring or keychain. You can choose a piece of jewelry or keychain to hold earth from the gravesite or a small portion of the cremated remains. There are lockets to hold a lock of hair, flower petals, a picture or even a spouse’s wedding ring.
You could also decide to have a fingerprint of your loved one on a piece of jewelry or keychain.
You have many options to choose from to help you feel closer to your loved one. You can also give them as gifts to family and close friends to help them through their days.
Remembrance jewelry is a beautiful way to keep your loved one close to your heart.
Garden Memorials
Memories of your loved one having fun in the backyard, enjoying the pool or even working in the garden are precious. Now you can honor those areas and memories with something special.
You could hang a wind chime from a favorite tree. Place a memorial bench near the pool. Lay memorial stepping-stones in the entrance of the garden. There are even memorial rocks you can place in your garden or flowerbeds. There are many designs, styles and quotes to choose from. Now you have provided you, your family and dear friends a way to feel close to your loved one and a special place to gain peace.
Keepsake Book
Friends and relatives often share memories, stories, photos and condolences in guest books. People also share condolences on the funeral home’s website and during the funeral service.
You could provide an area at the visitation and funeral for family and friends to share those memories. They can choose to write down a favorite memory. The children could write a letter or draw a picture for the person. Their cherished good-byes can then be saved for the keepsake book or even placed in the casket alongside the body.
This is a way of giving others an opportunity to share their memories and express their grief.
Video Tributes
A video tribute is a genuine way to personalize a memorial service. Providing you and your family the opportunity to revisit and celebrate the life of your loved one. These touching montages can consist of music, photos, memorabilia and newspaper articles. The video tribute will be a journey through their life.
Your video tribute can be played at the visitation, during the funeral service or at any other time you and your funeral service director decide.
