Special ways to keep your memories alive

How to ensure loved ones will never be forgotten

- 

After someone we love has passed away most of us try to find a way of keeping their memory alive.

This can vary from planting a tree to naming a star. Here are a few of the options that you may want to consider.

IN THE STARS

For some, naming a star after the loved one they have lost seems a fitting memorial. There are many star naming websites for you to choose from on the internet. Simply do an internet search for 'naming a star, UK'.

Most of these specialist websites give you the choice of naming a single star or a star in a constellation.

Once you have named your star, you will usually receive a certificate, star chart and co-ordinates to help you find it in the night's sky.

BEREAVEMENT BOX

Creating a memorial keepsake box is a comforting option for many.

This box can be filled with special memories you shared with your loved one: perhaps a photograph or two, a favourite piece of jewellery, cards and letters...

Memorial boxes are widely available to buy. Amazon, for example, sell a large selection, ranging from ornately decorated boxes to simple wooden chests.
