Remembering a beloved deceased at home
When a loved one has passed away, one has many things to do and think about. Of course you would like to preserve and commemorate the beautiful memories of the deceased person. Many people find it difficult to do this at home. After all, where and how does one do this in a serene way? These are 5 tips to remember your loved one in a beautiful and respectful way at home.
A reminder of the funeral/cremation
The funeral or cremation is an emotional event. It is good to keep a tangible memory of that day. Many people take the funeral bouquet home to dry and preserve it. A photo of the deceased and the guest book are also nice reminders of the day.
A special place in the home
It may do you good to set up a special place in your home for your dearly departed. For example, you can use a shelf in a (open) closet, a windowsill or the fireplace. On it you can place a photo of the deceased with other beautiful memories. You may also want to place a candle there and light it if you feel the need. Want to give a bigger place to remember your loved one? An interior designer or an interior designer can help you provide a memorial corner in an appropriate way in your interior.
Photo memories
Photos of your loved one can be beautifully incorporated into your interior: on the wall, in a frame on a shelf, among other photos. You can also choose a nice photo book that you only look at when you feel the need. Make a book with a nice cover and give it a prominent place in your home. That way you will have the photos close at hand, but not be so confronted with them.
A beautiful piece of text
You may wish to remember your loved one through some sayings. Or lyrics, a passage from a book, a poem or a song he/she loved very much. Or a beautiful text from the funeral or cremation. There is always a piece of text that fits the person you want to remember. You can style such a text and print it on beautiful paper and frame it, or have it printed on canvas. Then you give this text a nice place in your interior.
A beautiful urn
If the deceased was close to you, you can keep the ashes (or part of the ashes) at home in an urn. More and more people are choosing this option because beautiful, stylish urns are a special element in the interior, home or garden.
