Countless ways exist to memorialize a loved one. Here is a selection:
Video/DVD Tributes are priceless. These companies take photographs, video or digital media and put the images together, often with a music sound track and family or friend interviews, to create a powerful documentary of a person's live. They are usually played at funeral gatherings and they are a thoughtful remembrance to duplicate for family and friends to view at home.
Memorial Websites serve two functions. They can help people get practical information about where and when a funeral is scheduled. They also allow friends and family to pay tribute to a loved one online. Visitors to the website can sometimes "light candles" or leave written tributes.
Memorial Jewelry is a distinctive way to memorialize a loved one. Many varieties exist. One company makes jewelry from fingerprint impressions. Some memorial jewelry can contain or incorporate cremated remains. Several companies make jewelry that contains a small photograph of a loved one.
Memorial Window Decals are perfect for a group of young people deeply affected by a loss. Most often these decals are placed in a rear car window. For example, members of a soccer team that loses a player may decide to have memorial window decals placed on their cars. The window decals identify and bring the group together during a period of intense mourning.
Memorial Trees can be planted in honor of a loved one.
Memorial Vases may have a personalized inscription or an image of your loved one.
Memorial Candles, like vases, may have a personalized inscription or an image of your loved one.
Memory Bears are made from fabric that was worn by your loved one. Send one of these companies your loved one's favorite shirt, and they will use it to make a teddy bear.
Memorial Blankets may be embroidered with a personalized inscription or an image of your loved one. Like Memory Bears, they could be made from your loved one's favorite clothing.
