A truly lovely way of celebrating your loved one’s life during a memorial is to set up a website or ask someone to do it for you. The website can be crafted and then go “live”. Even after it goes live, it can be added to up to and after the day of your memorial. What do you include on your website? Some great suggestions are photos, videos, quotable quotes, bio, and memories from close family members. The site itself can be accessed by all of your guests and a comments section added. It will be amazing what family and friends remember abut your loved one.
A photo board at the venue is a tangible representation of the life os a loved one, across the years.

Invite your family and close friends to assist with this project. Ask for photos. Include small memorabilia items.
