Honouring and Coping with the Loss of a Loved One


The memory of a deceased loved one should be kept close at all times. Their loss may cause you and your loved ones a great deal of suffering. However, mourners can find comfort in the rituals of getting ready for the day.

How to Honour Your Loved One’s Memory

We at Simply Cremation hope you may find the following suggestions helpful on holidays and other special days throughout the year when you may be thinking of the one you have lost.

  • Visit the graveyard.
  • Light a candle in memory of your loved one who has passed away.
  • Make a record of your past experiences. Use photos, drawings, published writings, and treasures to adorn a small chest or shadow box. Get your kids involved in making this space their own.
  • Do anything, however basic, that you and the other person have previously loved doing together.
  • Planting a memorial perennial in a garden can serve as a lasting tribute to a loved one who passed away.
  • Make some memorials to the departed.

These are only few of the things you can do to honour the loss of a loved one.

Concentrate On Your Well-Being

Sometimes, loved ones and guests may urge you to pick up the pieces of your life and go forward. They can encourage you to control your emotions so you can care for your loved ones.

Being there for them during this challenging time is essential, but so is taking care of the stress you're feeling. Trying to carry on as though nothing has happened is never a good idea. You can better deal with your grief if you care for yourself physically and mentally by eating right, sleeping, exercising, and reducing stress.

  At Simply Cremations & Funeral Services, we have observed that cremation is the most popular method of disposition in the province, with about 65% of the population choosing cremation as their final disposition. As an alternative to burial, cremation is often seen as more eco-friendly, and the cremation pricing is typically much lower when compared with a traditional burial. What Is The Average Cremation Pricing? The cost to have a loved one cremated in our area depends on several factors, including the desired services, the funeral home you work with, and your geographic location. You can anticipate paying between $1,095 and $1,295 to arrange a simple, direct cremation in Calgary, Edmonton, and Red Deer metro areas. Direct cremations can be challenging to arrange in Alberta's more remote areas because of the high costs involved, and you will need to check with the funeral home you are working with. They will provide you with the details you need to make your decision
