Deborah-Diane @DeborahDiane (40846) • Laguna Woods, California 7 Sep 17

My mother did not want a serious funeral or memorial service after she died. Instead, she wanted a casual gathering of family and friends, which is what my sister arranged in her large home in Missouri. There were about 50 - 60...

Had a great idea for Mom's memorial but I need suggestions

dragon54u @dragon54u (31633) • United States 2 Aug 11

I thought that giving each attendee a sheet to fill out would help with the grief and also make a wonderful keepsake that I could distribute after I collected all the sheets and got them copied and bound. My idea was to have...

What is it about celebrity deaths?

fwidman @fwidman (11514) • United States 14 Jul 09

Why is it that folks can't seem to get over them and move on? I'm still seeing discussions about Michael Jackson and his memorial. No, I still do not understand why the city of L.A. should be footing the bill for that memorial...

You had to wonder what they would put together to memorialize an icon like Michael Jackson and to give him a send off that fit his stature. I couldn't think of what theatrics and musical performances would be put together on such...

Our Russian friends

clrumfelt @clrumfelt (5597) • Tennessee Ridge, Tennessee 31 Mar 09

I was completely unaware that Russia had sent a striking memorial to the USA on the fifth anniversary 9/11. It seems the MSM skipped over that "small" story. It really is a beautiful, skillfully crafted memorial in New York City,...

Do you feel that sometimes it's kind of invading a persons life? Or do you think that there a nice way to still view the person and see the memories? Have you made one for anyone you know? How did you choose the pictures or videos...

Bizziebod @Bizziebod (3497) 26 Apr 07

It's becoming a tradition here in the UK, that if someone dies in a car accident or similar then flowers are put at the side of the road to mark the spot by the family and friends. I was just wondering if this is something people...

The Death of Anna Nicole

PepperJane @PepperJane (50) • United States 10 Feb 07

I know it probably sounds silly to be upset when a star that you definitely don't personally know dies but I'm upset about Anna Nicole. I have said for years, especially after seeing the E! show, that Anna Nicole was my "idol". I...
