When someone we dearly loved passed away, we want to honor the life they lived until the end. Now, we may feel vulnerable when we are grieving. By focusing on the gifts they shared with you and the world, remembering the life of a deceased loved one can help ease the pain of their death. Honoring their loss can be a healing step in the grieving process. We at Dallas, TX cremations take great pleasure in working with families to organize a celebration of life for a deceased loved one. It can be challenging to plan an event that both celebrated and commemorates the life and spirit of a diverse individual, but it is also one of the most rewarding things we can do for a deceased loved one.
The following are celebration of life ideas that you can try to honor your loved one who recently departed:
Natural Wonder Environmental Celebration
Consider natural burial as an option. This means that after death, the body is not embalmed or unnaturally preserved, and the remains are returned to the earth in a biodegradable manner. A celebration of life for a person who picks this option may include mindful recreation, such as bird-watching, remembrance hiking, ecological meditation, or a nature study.
Records On Vinyl
Playing a vinyl record that was pressed with the cremated remains of the departed person at a celebration of life is an unusual but meaningful way to pay tribute to a loved one who has passed away. You could have a special message, a cherished song, or other words of encouragement that can play as often as you like in memory of the person who has passed away. This message could have been pre-recorded by your loved one.
Plant a Celebration of Life Garden
Your loved one did not need to be a gardener in order for this creative idea to be memorable. The concept that life is circular and that new growth and new life will continue to emerge long after we are gone is a sentimental and symbolic way to honor your departed loved one.
Turn Their Ashes into Fireworks
Want a remarkable method of celebration? Consider attending fireworks display! The ashes of your deceased loved one are combined with the fireworks’ explosives and released into the air when the fireworks explode. A festive idea for a celebration of life would be to gather after sunset and put on a pyrotechnic display that brings joy to everyone who has gathered to honor the departed.
