Memory Jar

A memory jar can be a simple, meaningful way to honor someone’s life. At family gatherings or when spending time with friends, leave out a jar with small slips of paper and invite people to write down a special memory of your loved one.

Over time, the jar fills with memories from the many lives that person touched. Reading them together can be heartwarming. There is something special about seeing your loved one through the eyes of others and discovering new stories. It can be a gift to learn something you never knew before.
