Ways of Honoring Deceased Family Members

Ways of Honoring Deceased Family Members
It is not proper to honor a deceased family member by including the person’s name on the wedding invitation. While the intention is good, there are other more appropriate ways to honor the deceased.
The deceased can be honored by having an usher, groomsman or other specially assigned person place a white rose on the pew at the moment the deceased would have been seated. 
During the ceremony, a special song or hymn can be dedicated.
An additional candle can be lit during the candle ceremony in their honor.
Rosemary is the symbol of remembrance, so a sprig of rosemary could be included in the bridal or attendants’ bouquets. 
Bouquets could also contain the favorite flower of the family member.
A contribution to the deceased’s favorite charity in their name is another nice way of honoring someone you love. 
Whatever you choose to do should be duly noted on your printed programme.
