The holidays are a time for the important things in life: gathering together with loved ones, celebrating, and reminiscing on fond memories. This year, consider taking this special time to honor those loved ones who couldn’t be with you this holiday season. With everyone home for the festivities, a heartfelt celebration of life may be just what you and your family need.

Whether you’re flipping through old photo albums, smiling at home videos on your tablet, or sharing heartfelt memories around the fire, memorializing is an important way to both mourn and celebrate the life of a loved one. When these memories are shared with others, they become even more special.

Unfortunately, many families and friends are only able to get together during these precious winter months. That’s why planning a celebration of life for the holiday break may be the opportunity everyone’s been waiting for.

While the traditional funeral or memorial service may have already long since passed, a celebration of life isn’t confined to any time or date. If your family feels the time is right to celebrate your loved one’s life—whether it’s for the first, second, or third time—then it’s right.

Honor your loved one by requesting that friends and family bring photos, items, and other memories that cherish your dearly departed. Since the holidays are all about love and generosity, there’s no better time to celebrate someone you care about.
