When you are having final services for a loved one with funeral homes in Geddes, NY, you choose the outfit you want them to wear for their visitation, funeral, and burial, but did you know that you can also put things into the casket with your loved one? There are lots of items you might consider including. Here are a few to consider. See what feels right to you.

 

Letters

If you want to tell your loved one that you adore them one last time or if there’s something you weren’t able to share with them while they were alive, writing a letter to them and putting it in the casket with them is certainly an option. Letters are small and don’t take up much space and can easily fit alongside them. You can have children write letters or even draw pictures, too.

 

Photographs

If you want your family to be with your loved one, even in some small way, you can put a photograph or several pictures in with your loved one. Perhaps you’d like to put a picture of their spouse, a picture of their kids, and a picture of their grandkids or other such things. They are carrying a small piece of the family they created along with them.

 

Books

If your loved one was devote to their faith, putting a Bible in the casket with them is a nice gesture. IF they liked poetry, fiction, biographies, or some other kind of book, choosing a book they adored to send into the burial process with them is a nice idea.

 

Clothing

While your loved one will be wearing whatever you chose for them, there might be another piece of clothing you want to stick in with them as well. It could be something like their favorite jacket, a tie they always wore, or anything else you think they’d like.

If your loved one had a favorite stuffed animal they still had from when they were little, that might be a comfort item you could place in with them. It could be a small painting they liked, postcards from their favorite vacation spot, or anything else you can think of that would bring them comfort.

 

Jewelry

Your loved one can wear whatever jewelry you want for their visitation and funeral. You can then have those items removed and returned to you, but you don’t have to. Perhaps you feel better about the idea that they take the wedding ring they wore for decades and never removed with them. You can place a cross necklace on them or something else special.
