Celebrating the life of a loved one is often a solemn occasion filled with tears and sadness, but there are also ways to make a celebration of life more heartwarming than heartbreaking. Consider these ideas for personalizing a memorial tribute so it’s as memorable as the person it honors. 

3 Uplifting Ways to Honor & Remember Your Loved One

1. Plan a Dove Release

Dove releases have long been used to mark special occasions. When it comes to memorial tributes, dove releases symbolize letting go of a loved one and allowing them to find peace. By accepting and participating in their loved one’s onward journey, mourners often experience feelings of peace and hopefulness despite their grief. 

2. Organize A Remembrance Concert

memorial tributeMusic is one of humanity’s oldest forms of expression and using it to celebrate a departed loved one can be cathartic for those in attendance. Whether you hire performers or enlist friends and family to perform live music, playing songs that remind those gathered of your loved one can make for an uplifting memorial tribute. Create a playlist using feedback from others, including favorite songs of your late friend or family member, and make a celebration of the event. You can also consider charging a cover fee and donating the funds raised to a charity in honor of your loved one.

3. Hold a Poetry Reading

Like songs, poetry is a method of expressing one’s love, grief, and hope following a loss. Poems can range from religious to humorous, and a memorial service director can help you collect the most fitting ones to honor your loved one. Each person in attendance can recite a poem aloud, or for those shy of public speaking, post it on a community board for others to read.
