Memorials Can Happen Outside Of Funeral Home Services

Donohue Funeral Home • March 20, 2022
Funeral home services are a big part of the grieving process and they can be very important to your family members. But there are ways you can memorialize people outside of that.
funeral homes in Wayne, PA

If someone you loved passes on, you will want to reach out to funeral homes in Wayne, PA to get them the services they have to have and can’t provide for themselves. You can have a full funeral for them, or perhaps a memorial service of some kind after cremation. Those services can bring a lot of peace of mind to your family and they can give your loved one what they have to have to move forward into the next world. However, you don’t have to leave remembering them at that. You can have memorials in a variety of kind outside of the funeral home. Do things that feel good to you and further your grief. Here are a few ideas. 


Create A Tribute Video 


Whether your family had a tribute video or picture slides at the funeral or not, there’s nothing wrong with having a second one that you made yourself. After the final services, you have more time to gather pictures, clips, songs, and so on for a video. Once you put together the video with all the right pieces, it can feel like something really special to you and a nice way to remember your loved one. Use the video whenever you want to think of them and consider sharing it with other family members, too. 


Post Something Online 


Many people stay connected to others, even those who live at a great distance, online. These people are important to you, just as those who live in the area are. When you want others to remember your loved one and you want to pay tribute to them yourself, you might post something online about their death or how you are doing. You could post a picture of them along with a memory or a phrase they said often, among other things, to remind everyone what type of person they were. 


Plant A New Tree 


Did your loved one adore birds? Did they always comment on the beauty of the leaves in a certain kind of tree? Planting a tree can honor them and help you to remember things about them at the same time. When you see the tree growing and thriving, it’s a new life that came from their death. You can also appreciate the birds that come there to nest as well as the leaves as they change, among other things. 


Cook Their Favorite Dish 


You might be able to remember your loved one through your tastes buds as well. If they had a special dish they often cooked and served, make it yourself. It might not taste quite the same, but even just making the attempt can bring their spirit back to you in a special way that feels good. 


If you want to remember your loved one after the services you had with the funeral homes in Wayne, PA, there are plenty of things you can do. Find us on the web to connect with the professionals who managed the final services for extra advice or even grief resources.
