Sympathy
And Memorial Gifts
When someone you know is grieving, you can help ease his or her loss with sympathy and memorial gifts. A memorial gift is a gift of remembrance and pays tribute to a life well lived.
Honoring a Loving Friend
When someone is in the throes of grief, an expression of sympathy can mean the world to that individual. As a tribute to the deceased, you might want to give both sympathy and memorial gifts. Memorial gifts can last long after the loss and help to honor a person’s life, giving those left behind some positive memories to cherish. Memorial gifts can range from memory scrapbooks to planting trees to gifts of money to favorite institutions or charities.
Photographs Are Classic Memorial Gifts
When someone passes on, what’s left is his or her memory. Those who are grieving will cherish whatever photographs or videos you might have of their loved one.
- You can add a lovely memorial gift to any pre-made comfort basket with photographs.
- Remember to include personal stories of the many wonderful qualities of that person and how they enhanced your life.
- Many people make digital guest books for people who are far away and perhaps couldn’t make it to the funeral, so they can log in and add their thoughts.
It’s wonderful to see photos and comments from friends of the deceased and to know that many people were touched and benefited from the life of your loved one.
Nature Is the Perfect Memorial Gift
Planting trees in honor of someone who has died is a wonderful way to mark the passage of time. It can offer a place to retire to when thoughts of the loved one are foremost in the survivor’s mind.
Other forms of nature that can be used are stones. Stones can be etched with a poetic phrase in memory of the deceased and placed in the garden in a place of honor. It becomes a permanent testament to someone you love and miss.
Donations As Memorial Gifts
If the deceased had a favorite cause they supported, people can be given the option of sending a memorial gift to that institution or charity. Sometimes people opt to use monies to start a scholarship fund or as donations to a university that will ensure that the deceased’s name lives on. These types of gifts can give one a sense of legacy and provide comfort to those left behind.
Remembering someone’s life with sympathy and memorial gifts
can help not only the people grieving but also give back to the community.
