Remembering A Loved One After Funeral Home Services

Once a loved one passes away, you contact reputable funeral homes in Monroe, NC to put their final services together. After the services are behind you, you don’t want to put that person’s life behind you. It’s important to remember them and the things they meant to you throughout your own life. There are plenty of ways to remember someone even after their final services are complete.

Put Together A Memorial Book

You likely have plenty of pictures of your loved one, either printed out or in digital form. Take some of the time you might have off from work for bereavement and put together a memorial book of pictures with that person. Then, when you want to think of them, you can look through the book and remember some of the good times you had together. Looking through their favorite events and vacations can bring a smile to your face in the future.

Create A Memorial Page

Many people can build websites today and it doesn’t have to be hard. You could create an online memorial page for your loved one so your family can share memories, look at pictures, and even perhaps look at tapes of their final services and so on. You can transform their personal social media pages into memorial pages, or you can put up a website of your own in their memory.

Have Family Put A Time Capsule Into Place

Gather your family member sometime after the final services and have everyone bring something that reminds them of your loved one. You can put all of the things in a box and then put the box high in a closet somewhere and set a time to gather again to open it back up. That might be next year on the anniversary of the person’s death or a few years into the future. You can place something as simple as a golf ball in the capsule if they loved to golf and you have stories to share surrounding the game. You could also put in there a letter they wrote, or one you wrote to them to share your grief. What you put together is completely up to you, but it can be a nice way to bring someone’s memory to light again in the future.
