The Many Ways to Personalize a Loved One’s Farewell

For many of the families we serve in Lubbock and the surrounding Texas communities, a memento of a loved one can be incredibly comforting in the days and months following a death. With many memorial items to choose from at Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers, you are sure to find something that represents your loved one.

For friends and family who had a loved one who served in the military, you may want to purchase a flag display frame. The display frame encases the folded flag given to you by the branch of service your loved one served in and gives you a unique way to honor your loved one and to preserve the flag. The experienced staff at Lake Ridge will be able to craft the most honorable farewell for your veteran friend or family member.

Bookmarks with seeds can also be handed out to friends and family members to create a new memory through watching the seeds grow. The paper used to make the bookmark is embedded with seeds – you simply plant it and watch it grow.

One unique way to keep and share cremated remains is to transform them into a jewelry keepsake. For example, you can have a ring made featuring a diamond-like stone made from the cremated remains. Another treasured jewelry keepsake would be a locket that has two compartments, one for a strand of hair from your deceased loved one and the other for a photo.

When it comes time to plan a farewell for your loved one, the compassionate and knowledgeable staff at Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers will help you create a service that honors their memory and pays tribute to their culture, values, hobbies, and accomplishments.

If you choose to make your own prearrangements with Lake Ridge , these are decisions you can make for yourself. From top to bottom, you can craft your own service and choose the memorialization items that are right for you. Reach out to us any time to learn about preplanning as well as all of the memorial options and personalization aspects we can offer you and your family.
