I would like to make something to remember a couple of loved ones?!
Question: I would like to make something to remember a couple of loved ones.?
I lost my cousin & aunt yesterday. We don't have any pics at all of my cousin and we have a lot of pics of my aunt. A semi ran into their van and killed them. We also have my other cousin who is fighting for her life. I would like to make something in their memory at their funeral services and all. What could i make.? No collages because they may not be cremated and we always do that. I was thinking about getting pics and laminating them. And then getting a quilt at like wal-mart and sewing the pics onto the quilt. How does this sound.? And what other things could i make.?Health Question & Answer

Yeah you can do that and you can also make a bracelet too. The quilt is a really good idea too. You can also make a dream catcher, it keeps bad dreams away and keeps in the good ones. Or you could make a scrapbook and have everyone say what they liked about them and put it in the scrapbook. Or u could put your favorite memories of them.Health Question & Answer
For my mother's funeral not only did I make little cards with a poem her date of birth family members etc on them for everyone to bring home with them. But I also made a photo video collage while playing one of her favorite songs "cool change" of her through her good years. The church we held the service at had a projecter that we played it on.Health Question & Answer
i photoshopped pics of my dad to show him to his best advantage, and laminated them, and put them on poster board with easels holding them. i don't know if that is par for the course in your family, but it was original in mine.

The quilt sounds super original. When my grandparents died we buried them with something they cherished (and a letter whoever wrote it)
For example
When my grandmother died my sister and I wrote a letter, and are whole family buried her with her majon (i don't know how to spell it, but she played 3 times a week with her girlfriends) card and 10 or 20 dollars.
For my grandfather who died over the summer my sister and I wrote a letter, and buried him with a glass apple we got at walmart. He always said he wanted to be buried under an apple tree.
My moms dad, I think my sister and I just wrote him a letter, I don't remember what I put in there.
For my moms mom, I never met her she died when my mom was 16.Health Question & Answer
