- The following
are 3 ideas that are alternatives to the more traditional Memorial and
Funeral Decorations. I like the idea of using garden statuary instead
of potted plants or Fresh Floral arrangements. It enables the family
to take home something that doesn’t require care and that they can keep
as a memory of their loved one. Keep in mind that concrete is extremely
heavy so I recommend using smaller pieces to decorate with.
|
| Cherub
with Ribbon and Silk Flower |
 |
- Make a bow, now
glue a silk flower in the middle of it with a few sprigs of greenery.
Use a small piece of statuary such as a cherub or angel, adhere the
bow to the statue using hot glue or floral clay.
|
| Potted
Plant w/ Statuary |
 |
- Fill a container
such as a hanging basket or nice pot with an array of silk or live plants
leaving the middle open. Place a small cherub or angel in the middle
of the arrangement.
|
| Small
Birdbath with Angel |
 |
- Use a small birdbath
that is just 1-2 foot tall, place a small amount of soil in the bottom.
Place a small garden statue in the center Plant bedding plants around
the edge, fill in with soil & Spanish moss if needed. I used Sweet
Alysumm. This is not intended to be a long term planter, but the plants
can be transferred at a later date.
- I think these
3 ideas make very thoughtful and wonderful gifts or decorations that
are appropriate for Memorial day as well as a funeral.
- Hope you all have
a safe and happy Memorial weekend.
