Traditional funerals aren’t the only way to pay tribute to a loved one who’s passed. Here are some ideas to create a memorial that feels both personal and meaningful:
- Celebration of Life: Focus on favorite memories, music, food. Share stories and laughter.
- Memory Objects: Create a scrapbook, plant a memorial tree, or display a special item that reminds you of them.
- Acts of Service: Volunteer for a cause they cared about, donate in their name, or start your own project in their memory
- Themed Trip: Visit a meaningful place for them, scatter ashes somewhere they loved.
- Digital Legacy: Create an online memorial page, compile a video tribute, or share a blog post with their story.
The most important thing is to choose a remembrance that resonates with you and honors the unique person you’ve lost.
