I work for a preneed company in which we supply the tools to funeral homes to keep providing service after the service through our advanced planning program. While it is very successful, you have provided some really great ideas. My Uncle died just six weeks ago from cancer He was well known in his community as he was the Sheriff for many years. The community has gathered and talked to a local golf course to name a hole in his honor. His name is Robert, but he has always been known as Rabbit. The golf course agreed, a monument company made a rabbit from granite and the hole is now called “The Bunny Hole”. It is a great tribute to my uncle and it means the world to my aunt. Thank you for publishing this article!

I really enjoyed your post and agree it’s so very important to help families and friends remember to give themselves permission to reflect, celebrate, and continue to include the memory of a lost loved one in meaningful ways, even after they’ve left us. In particular I’d like to add one point to #4 and going a step further.

I founded GEO Graves, LLC out of the need, as someone within a “future generation”, to be able to actually visit the graves of family members who died before I was able to memorize where they were buried. I found it very difficult and stressful to find one grave marker among a sea of thousands. So while I’m not a funeral professional in a traditional sense, I am able to offer funeral homes & directors my partnership so that their families can add the grave of a lost loved one, enabling anyone to easily spend a few quite moments alone or together at any grave site, anywhere.

Cheers!
