Letters
Did you know that writing a letter to a loved one who has died can be a very cathartic experience?

You and your fellow family members might want to all write letters to your loved one and stick them into their casket. It’ll be a great way to say goodbye to your loved one in the end.
Photographs
You and your family members might not want to give up a bunch of original family photographs. Future generations of your family are going to cherish these photos for many years to come. You can, however, make copies of some family photos and stick them into a loved one’s casket. It’s a fantastic way to surround your loved one with family while burying them in the ground. You can include as many photos in your loved one’s casket as you would like. You can also opt to frame some of the extra special photos that you include.
Rosary beads
When you see a person in a casket at a viewing, you’ll often see them with rosary beads in their hands. Most of the time, these rosary beads will stay put when a person is buried. You and your family are welcome to bury a loved one with rosary beads in their hands. You can also put other pieces of jewelry on your loved one and/or surround them with special pieces from their jewelry collection.
Stuffed animals
If you have any children in your family who would like to say goodbye to a loved one in their own special way, it might be worth encouraging them to stick stuffed animals into a loved one’s casket. This is a good way for you to involve kids in the funeral services for a loved one while also making it fun for them. You can have them pick out stuffed animals that will protect your loved one once they’ve been buried in a cemetery. It’ll help them make one final memory with your loved one prior to their burial.
