Memorialization of a loved one who has passed is a great way to keep their memories alive, but their memory must be rekindled. A great way to start is to ask yourself: what was their favorite drink, and why? Share your memories below!

How do we respect the wishes of our deceased loved one for a “simple” or “no fuss” funeral, while still meeting our own needs to mourn? Remember that gathering together to mourn can look like a family dinner, or outdoor picnic, as well as a more traditional larger gathering at a church or community center.

Remember, everyone's grief journey is unique, and there is no "right" way to cope with the death of a loved one. Find what works best for you and be gentle with yourself as you navigate the grieving process.

The decision to cremate a loved one does not end our responsibility to our family and friends. They will be grieving too, and they have all lost a special person in their life that they want to be able to mourn. If a Celebration of Life feels too overwhelming right now, consider picking a date of significance (maybe their birthday) in which to bring everyone together to share memories and love.

During important life events, many people choose to leave timely mementos of a more personal nature, such as photographs, angels, and small trinkets that have their own personal significance. It helps to keep the deceased relevant as time moves on.

The Merchant family were prominent industrialists in Ohio, and when they erected this massive sphere in 1896 to mark the grave of Charles Merchant it represented both the style and fortitude of the clan.
