Five Simple Ways to Include Beauty in a Memorial
Beyond the Blooms
When someone we love passes, we search for ways to honor their memory—something meaningful, heartfelt, and beautiful. It doesn’t have to be elaborate. Sometimes, the simplest gestures say the most.
Here are five ways to bring beauty into a memorial, whether at a service, a gathering, or a quiet moment of reflection.
1. Personal Colors
Let color tell their story. Maybe it’s the soft lavender they wore every spring or the bold orange of their favorite sunset. Color evokes memory. Our sand sets come in 18 vibrant shades so you can choose what feels right.
2. Handwritten Notes
Invite guests to write a message, a memory, or even just a single word that reminds them of your loved one. Place them in a keepsake box or scatter them as part of the ceremony. These words become tiny treasures of remembrance.
3. A Shared Moment
Create a moment where everyone can take part—scattering sand, lighting a candle, or placing a petal. Beauty isn’t just what we see—it’s what we feel when we come together.
4. Simple Wildflowers
Whether gathered from a backyard or arranged by hand, wildflowers bring a sense of life, color, and connection to the natural world. You don’t need a florist—just intention.
5. A Tribute That Lasts
Sometimes, beauty is what remains after the service ends. A small jar of sand, a photo, or a dried flower becomes a keepsake that continues to offer comfort.
At Phyll The Love, we believe that beauty doesn’t have to be traditional—and goodbyes don’t have to be quiet.
They can be full of color, full of heart, and full of love.
