Free Memorial Ornament

During this Christmas season, Fox Funeral Home is offering a complimentary custom-engraved memorial ornament to those who have lost someone close. As you cherish this time, we hope this thoughtful gift serves as a reminder of holidays past and the love shared.

Order must be placed by December 18th

Pick up available no later than December 20th

Due to the increasing number of requests, including some for multiple ornaments or gifts for others, we’ve had to make changes to ensure this offering remains available to those who truly need it. Each family is now limited to one complimentary ornament with one memorial name per order.

If additional ornaments are needed, up to four can be ordered for a small fee of $5 each to cover engraving costs.

We kindly ask that orders be placed only for yourself and your immediate family, as this program is designed to bring comfort directly to those who have experienced loss. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and thank you for allowing us to serve you during this tender time.

Sorry, we are no longer taking order.

It's crucial to recognize and accept the emotions that come with grief during the holidays. Give yourself permission to feel sadness, nostalgia, and even moments of joy without guilt.

Consider establishing new traditions that honor your loved one's memory. This could involve lighting a candle, sharing stories, or incorporating their favorite holiday activities into your celebrations.

Reach out to friends, family, or support groups who understand what you're going through. Share your feelings and memories, and allow yourself to lean on others for support.

4. Memorialize Your Loved One:

Fox Funeral Home's complimentary memorial ornament provides a tangible way to remember and honor your loved one during the holiday season. Place it on your tree or in a special spot to evoke fond memories.

Understand that it's okay not to feel festive all the time. Allow yourself moments of solitude if needed, and don't pressure yourself to meet certain holiday expectations.

6. Seek Professional Support:

If the grief becomes overwhelming, consider seeking professional help through counseling or therapy. A trained therapist can provide guidance and support tailored to your specific needs.

Take care of your physical and emotional well-being. Ensure you get enough rest, eat nourishing meals, and engage in activities that bring you comfort and peace.
