Memorialization practices

Memorialization practices are ways communities and individuals honor and remember those who have passed away. These practices can include creating physical memorials like gravestones, monuments, or plaques, as well as ceremonies, rituals, or commemorative events. They aim to preserve the memory of the deceased, provide comfort to the living, and acknowledge the significance of their lives. Locations, symbols, and traditions may vary based on cultural, religious, or personal preferences, but overall, memorialization helps keep the legacy of loved ones alive and supports communal remembrance.
