Keep Their Memory Close This Season

As the season of gathering approaches, many families carry both joy and quiet grief… especially when a loved one is no longer there. The holidays can bring back memories, longing, and the ache of someone deeply missed.

Honoring that space can be healing. Here are a few gentle ways to remember someone you love during the holidays:

Light a candle in their memory
Leave an empty seat at the table
Share a favorite story or holiday tradition they loved
Make their signature dish
Hang a special ornament or decoration in their honor
Create a memory jar for guests to write down stories
Play a song that reminds you of them
Visit their resting place with seasonal flowers
Donate to a cause they cared about
Wear something that reminds you of them (a pin, a color, a favorite scent)

There’s no “right” way to remember– only what feels meaningful to you.

What helps you feel close to someone you miss this time of year? We’d love to hear about it!

Grief Looks Different Through a Child’s Eyes

Today is Children’s Grief Awareness Day– a reminder that kids feel loss just as deeply as adults, but often show it in different ways. They may ask questions, act out, seem distant, or swing between laughter and tears. It’s all part of how they process what they can’t yet fully understand.

During the holidays especially, grief in children can resurface in unexpected ways. Gentle routines, safe conversations, and small ways to honor their loved one, like lighting a candle or hanging a special ornament, can help them feel seen and supported.

Grieving children don’t need perfect answers. They just need patience, presence, and permission to feel whatever they’re feeling.

The added vase allows loved ones to leave fresh flowers throughout the year, turning each visit into a heartfelt moment of remembrance. It’s a meaningful way to create a tribute that feels both intimate and enduring.

The Firsts Are Tender

The first holiday, birthday, or special occasion without someone you love can stir up deep emotions. Even when you think you’re doing okay, grief can catch you by surprise.

These “firsts” are tender - not because we're weak - but because love lingers. Missing someone is a sign of how much they mattered. That their life made an impact.

If you’re walking through a first without your loved one, here are a few ways to care for yourself:

Say their name
Share a favorite memory
Set boundaries—attend only what feels right
Write a letter to the one you’re missing
Reach out to someone who understands
Start a new tradition if you need something different

There is no right way to handle the “firsts”. Be gentle with yourself. Feel what you feel. And know you’re not alone in this.

With Gratitude, We Remember

Today, on Veterans Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who served with courage, conviction, and selflessness.

For every veteran remembered, there is a story of sacrifice, and behind that story, a family, a community, and a legacy that lives on. We are humbled to walk alongside the families who have entrusted us with honoring those who served.

To all who have worn the uniform—and to the loved ones who stood beside them—we thank you. We remember. We carry your stories with us.

When Someone Is Grieving, Words Don’t Have to Be Perfect—Just Kind

In moments of deep loss, it’s hard to know what to say. But showing up with love—even through simple words—can bring more comfort than you realize.

You don’t have to fix anything. Just letting someone know that you see them, you remember their loved one, and they are not alone can make all the difference. Here are a few gentle phrases that many grieving families have found meaningful:

“I’m here for you, and I care.”
“There are no words—but I’m holding you in my heart.”
“I remember [Name], and I’m so grateful I knew them.”
“You don’t have to go through this alone.”
“It’s okay to feel whatever you’re feeling today.”
“I’m thinking of you and sending love.”
“If you want to talk, I’m here to listen.”
“Take all the time you need. I’ll be here.”

You don’t need perfect words—just honest kindness.

🎃 Fun Activity Ideas for a Safe & Memorable Halloween

The best Halloween memories are made in the little moments — carving pumpkins together, walking through the neighborhood in costume, or sharing a laugh over too many pieces of candy.

This season is about more than spooky fun — it’s about connection. Whether your family enjoys decorating the porch, baking treats, or visiting a local fall festival, every small tradition becomes part of the story you’ll cherish for years to come.

There are plenty of family-friendly events happening throughout the community this week — a quick online search can help you find great gatherings nearby.

However you celebrate, we hope your Halloween is filled with laughter, safety, and the kind of moments that become lasting memories. 🧡

What if love could be remembered side by side, forever?

For families who choose cremation, a Companion Cored Marker offers a meaningful way to honor two lives connected by love and shared memories. It symbolizes togetherness — a lasting tribute that reflects the bond between couples or family members whose stories are forever intertwined.

We believe remembrance should feel as personal and enduring as the love it represents. For those choosing cremation, a Companion Cored Marker provides a permanent and beautiful place of honor, keeping two lives remembered, side by side.

Peace of Mind. For You—and for Them.

When the time comes, the greatest gift we can leave our loved ones isn’t just memories—it’s clarity.

Pre-planning takes away the uncertainty families often face during emotional moments. It ensures your wishes are known, respected, and carried out with care. Just as importantly, it lifts a future burden—so your family can focus on remembrance, not decisions.

Many families share that planning ahead gave them a deep sense of peace. It opened up honest conversations, preserved meaningful choices, and helped loved ones feel more connected and prepared. Even small steps—like writing down preferences or asking a question—can be a beautiful act of love.

It doesn’t have to happen all at once. A single conversation or simple note can start the journey of providing peace of mind to those you love. And when you’re ready, we’re here to walk with you—gently, and at your pace.
