Honoring loved ones after they pass is difficult, especially during the burial services. However, carrying on the spirit of the departed is an important part of all burial services and the times following them. The staff at Morris Funeral Home of Wayne, WV, would like to help families and friends experiencing loss celebrate the life of their loved ones.

Below, they share a few ways you can honor the deceased during burial services and in everyday life:

• Light A Candle: Lighting a candle during a burial ceremony gives attendees a moment to collect themselves and say a prayer for the departed or simply cherish a memory of them.
• Make Their Favorite Meal: The smell of their favorite meal is sure to bring about memories. This is a great way to spend time and share remembrance with friends and family as well.
• Share Stories: Whether you’re at a burial service, the funeral home, or in the comfort of your own home, sharing stories about your loved one is a wonderful way to remind yourself and others of the great times you all shared together.

Funeral services are difficult, to say the least. It’s quite possible you won’t feel up to the task of honoring your loved one during the actual service. This is why Morris Funeral Home of Wayne, WV, has shared the above suggestions, which can also be practiced alone at home. Visit the website or Facebook page to learn more about their pre-planning funeral services.
