I am on a committee for a hospice memorial in December. In the past they have had a bell with the name of the deceased to be placed on the tree. Does anyone have an inexpensive idea for ornaments--maybe with angels or doves? There is usually a reading remembering those who passed away. Any ideas on that? (Last year it was about a bell ringing for each new angel.)Also, we need an appropriate song to be sung and an instrumental piece. Any help is appreciated.

I saw a memorial tree one time that had "pricture frame" ornaments on it with the loved ones pictures in them. That was neat.. we got to see who they actually speaking about. The theme for that tree that year was "Gods newest choir members".

When my dad passed away, the funeral home sent a letter to my family saying they were going to have a ceremony to honor all those that passed that year. They supplied cardboard ornaments for us to decorate in memory of our loved ones. As the names were called, the families would come forward and place the ornaments on the tree. You don't have to get elaborate. Maybe just cardboard angels, stars, etc. It is a very personal way to honor those who have passed.

Well you could try any of these. Silver Bells In the Bleak Midwinter Happy Xmas War is Over Lonely this Christmas I think any of these would be Ideal.

if there is a blank wall available, you could have these angels or doves w/ names painted on the wall
or plant flowers..as previously suggested
a childrens choir would be nice to sing and read the names

As for a song, "You are the wind beneath my wings" seems appropriate. For a memorial, how about "crystal" pendants which refract light into rainbows?

Try this website for a reading idea, then match the ornament with something from the reading. Also, the reading might inspire the song and instrumental piece.
