memorial candle question

Posted by SoonToBeMrsFox

i know everyone has a different situation and it's totally my call and i should do what i want, but did you include every single family member/friend that passed away or only those that really meant the world to you?

---

everyone's situation is definitely different but we are doing a pretty basic memorial candle and then putting photos of loved ones we've lost around it

in my situation, so many have passed, we're only putting our grandparents and FH's sister on the table. if we extended it to aunts/uncles/cousins, etc. the table would be covered in photos

HTH

Crashing....

I get where you're coming from. I also have many members that have passed over the years. I am planning on putting together a memory table with several diy personalized candles. I am including first gen. family only (ie sister grandparents and aunts...not great aunts and uncles)

i want to include photos as well, but unfortunately, i've lost a lot of family members and i don't want it to look like a shrine.

i'm only going to do one for my dad and my moms sister. not doing my grand parents, even though I probably should

---

that's the thing -- i feel like i should include the others.

why not gather photos of a bunch of people u want to honor and instead get one collage frame and put them in there? that way it's only one frame on the table iwth the candle

ooooohhhh

im just avoiding that by not putting names on the candle at all - just a poem

We didnt do a candle, but i would only do relatives...

we did put on our programs in loving memory of 3 people... Shauns Aunt, Shauns uncle, and my very good friends mom who... they all died since we got engaged...
