Memorial rituals are an honorable way to connect with lost loved ones, creating healing experiences, which tend to bring peace. Rather than holding onto grief after a funeral, creating unique, creative rituals focusing on celebrating a loved one’s life can provide a long-lasting connection to never be forgotten. Since 1938, Cincinnati’s Bolton & Lunsford Funeral Homes has been one of the area’s most honored funeral homes. With respected professionals who handle every aspect of memorial services, you can rest assured knowing every detail will be handled with the care you deserve during your time of grief. 

Cincinnati’s respected funeral provider offers some creative ways to memorialize your loved ones:

• Light A Candle: Pick out a special candle that reminds you of your loved one; you can select their favorite color or scent as this will bring back precious memories. Light it on special days, such as Mother’s/Father’s day, a birthday, or a unique family memory, and create a new tradition.
• Create A Special Space: Create a space in your home devoted to your loved one. Include photos, favorite items, and other mementos, displaying the space for friends and family members during the holidays or on your loved one’s birthday. 
• Build A Scrapbook: Get together with others in grief to create a special scrapbook filled with memories. It will create a lasting legacy honoring your loved one, as well as a way for those in grief to bond and share memorable moments, photos, and mementos for decades after the funeral.
• Embrace Nature: Plant a flower, garden, or tree (or locate one nearby), and devote it to your loved one. You might even want to try tying a ribbon in their favorite color around the scenery. You can also display your loved one’s favorite plants or flowers in your home.
