❤️At Keithley Funeral Homes, you’ll notice our chapels are often filled with the vibrant red of poinsettias this time of year. While they are a beautiful holiday tradition, they hold a much deeper meaning for those of us walking through a season of loss.
For many, the star-shaped leaves of the poinsettia represent the Star of Bethlehem—a symbol of guidance and hope through the darkest nights. For families honoring a loved one, these flowers serve as a 'living star,' reminding us that the light our loved ones brought into the world still shines bright, even after they are gone.
The poinsettia is unique because it blooms in winter, and stands as a testament to resilience and the renewal of the soul. Just as these flowers flourish in the cold, our love for those we’ve lost remains vibrant and enduring, regardless of the season.
