4 Interesting Ways to Honor Your Deceased Loved One After Cremation
Are you looking for a good way to honor your deceased loved one after their St. Johns cremation? There are lots of things you can do that will not only honor them, but also bring comfort to you and the rest of your family. Consider these 4 interesting options.
1. Donate Time and/or Money to Charitable Cause
One way you can honor your deceased relative is to contribute, whether in terms of time or financial resources, to a cause that they had held dear. Were they big on being a good environmental steward? Why not work with a local group that focuses on environmental awareness? Did they spend time during the holidays helping out at a soup kitchen? You can donate food to help a community group that provides meals for the less fortunate, and you might also want to volunteer some of your time to help out at such a meal. You can let the organizers know that you’re doing it in honor of your deceased loved one.
2. Plant a Tree or a Flower Garden
Another interesting option to honor your deceased loved one is to plant something. You might want to plant a tree seedling on your property. It will provide a lasting memorial since you’ll potentially be able to see it last for generations. You may also wish to go with a flower garden. Was the deceased a gardener? Did they love flowers? Create a special garden to plant flowers that commemorate their memory or simply reserve a portion of an existing garden.
3. Make a Memorial Video
Creating a memorial video can be a fitting way to honor a deceased loved one. Assemble video files, audio files, and pictures to create the video. It shouldn’t be hard to find these sorts of documents since just about everyone has them on their smartphones, computers, and tablets. You can use free software to create a video that you can play at the memorial service. A good idea would be to make copies of the video to hand out to people who attend the event.
4. Play Some Tunes
Was the deceased a music lover? What was their favorite band? What genres did they particularly enjoy? Which artists did they go to see perform live at concerts? You can play some of their favorite songs at a memorial service to personalize things. If you or other members of your family are musically inclined, you might wish to play some live music.
