Keeping memories of loved ones alive
Lancashire Evening Post
|February 17, 2026
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.
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.
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 coordinates to help you find it in the night's sky.
Creating a memorial keepsake box is a comforting option for many.
