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.

When you imagine a peaceful place to honor someone you love, what comes to mind?

A Private Columbarium with Vase offers a beautifully personal option for families who choose cremation. With two niches designed for two placements, it creates a shared resting place that reflects connection, closeness, and the desire to remain side by side.

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.

If you're planning ahead or exploring options for your family, a Private Columbarium with Vase offers a thoughtful blend of privacy, permanence, and personalization.

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.

What’s something someone once said to you that helped you through a hard time? Please share below - perhaps those same words can bring someone else comfort as well.

At Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens, our commitment has always been to provide families with a peaceful, beautiful, and dignified place of remembrance.

As part of that ongoing commitment, we will be updating our Cemetery Flower Policy, effective January 1, 2026. These updates are designed to help preserve the natural beauty of our grounds while ensuring that every resting place is cared for with respect and consistency.

Here are a few key highlights:
Flowers are welcome year-round when placed in cemetery-approved vases.
Ground decorations are permitted for a limited time around Memorial Day — 2 days before and 5 days after.
Cemetery-wide cleanups will take place during the first 14 days of January and August.
Grave blankets and wreaths are allowed from after Thanksgiving through December 31.

We understand how meaningful these tributes are, and we want every family to feel confident that their loved one’s resting place is treated with care.

If you have any questions, please contact our office at (405) 721-3182.
Thank you for your understanding as we continue to honor every life remembered here with dignity and compassion.

🎃 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.
