Affordable Memorial Tributes
A monument is often purchased as soon as a loved one passes away. A monument can also mark the spot where the remains are buried in addition to memorializing the deceased. You can memorialize your loved ones in a much more cost-effective way than with monuments. As funeral homes in Bellevue, MI help you plan a funeral service for a loved one, we assist you in choosing the most affordable option. When choosing, be sure to keep these tips in mind.
Photographs
The pictures we keep for a long time, whether on our phones, in frames, or in albums, are treasures we keep for a lifetime. People often arrange pictures in a way that suits their lifestyle in memory of those who have recently passed away. Making ornaments out of photos, scrapbooking, and making a memorial slideshow are some of the ways to commemorate your loved one.
Cremation Jewelry
For those who need something to carry with them at all times, jewelry is another option for keeping their loved ones close at hand. The ashes of a loved one can be used in jewelry, photos can be captured in lockets, and hair can be woven into lockets.
Memories of our Loved Ones
We cannot always find comfort in our memories during difficult times. In order to hear and share stories about those we have lost, we often have to reach out to others. In a jar at the funeral or in your home, you can collect the favorite stories about your loved one that your friends and family tell about him or her. This jar is perfect for keeping track of special occasions or reminders. Creating a video compilation of loved ones sharing cherished memories would be a nice gesture for those who love technology. If you are organized, you can distribute a copy as a keepsake or share it on social media.
Repurposing Belongings
In an era where recycling, reusing, and reducing are more prevalent, why not make pillows or blankets out of your loved one’s clothes? Guests and children will cherish these items for years to come. It can be special and will ensure your loved one’s belongings are kept safe and cared for properly.
Our Own Memorial Garden
Gardening is a passion shared by everyone in every family. If you want to remember your loved one with flowers, you might want to plant a memorial tree. It is also possible for some families to scatter or bury ashes in the garden. Memorial benches and personalized stepping stones can make the natural tribute more meaningful. There are plenty of things that can be used in a garden to remember your loved one and make it all about their memory.
A special tribute should be special, but your family should also be able to afford it when planning a tribute for a loved one.
