Create an In Memory Tribute
What is an ‘in memory’ tribute
Sadly, it is not uncommon to lose a loved one, friend or neighbour before we have the opportunity to learn about them as a whole. Often it is only by attending their funeral do we get a glimpse of the history of their life.
Creating an ‘in memory’ tribute to celebrate the life of a loved one is a beautiful way of sharing the life story of one of our locals and keeping their memory preserved.
Two reasons you may create an ‘in memory’ tribute are:
To celebrate the life of a loved one and share there story with others to keep their memory alive.
In addition to your loved one’s funeral notice; where family and friends can make a meaningful donation in lieu of flowers.
