Simple and Nice Tombstone Saying

People often ask me for suggestions of what to put on our memorial plantable seed cards for funerals.  My recommendation is always the same, keep it simple. I then learn a bit about the departed and help guide our customer to coming up with the perfect saying or verse. Today, I came across a simple but very nice tombstone or grave stone verse, it said “Always in our thoughts, Forever in our hearts”.  Sort of says it all doesn’t it?

In Lieu of Flowers, Consider Memorial Seed Cards as a Funeral Gift

Plant the cross and wildflowers will grow

Perhaps there is a reason that the term, “in lieu of flowers” has gotten so popular. The trend seems to be that families direct well wishers to putting that money towards something more lasting and meaningful. Often people say, “in lieu of flowers please make a donation to…” and they list their loved one’s favorite charity. While it’s been a tradition at weddings to provide a little something such as a keepsake gift or wedding favor, now funeral favors or gifts are becoming a popular option to sending flowers or making a donation.
