Losing a loved one is never easy, and often, even after the memorial service, family members and friends are still looking to honor their loved one in a unique, meaningful way. While some people opt for memorabilia to memorialize their loved one, others may find hosting a special event in that person’s honor is the best way to remember them by. The kind, compassionate staff at Fred D. Knapp & Son Funeral Home is experienced with helping their clients remember those they lost. Below, this professional funeral home discusses three ways to honor the life of a lost loved one.

After the Funeral: 3 Ways to Honor Your Loved One

1. Plant a Memorial Garden

A memorial garden is a beautiful way to honor your loved one. Symbolizing the circle of life throughout the seasons, it also serves as a physical spot where you can go to remember the one you lost. Select flowers and other plants that remind you of the person you’re honoring, and consider including garden art or carved stones for a special touch.

2. Give a Donation in Their Name

A donation to your lost loved one’s favorite charity is the perfect way to honor them while giving back to an organization they felt passionate about helping. Many family members also choose to volunteer for charities the one they lost used to give their time to as a way to memorialize their giving spirit.

3. Display Something In Your Home

Whether you choose to frame and hang a poem or letter they wrote or put out a souvenir they bought on one of their trips abroad, displaying something in your home that reminds you of your lost loved one can be a meaningful way to honor them.
