So, I am wondering if you guys have any ideas on suitable memorials for family members that can't attend. I'm looking for something that will be both striking and meaningful. To give you an idea of these people, here's the list:
My Fiances Relatives
Older Brother - He died literally a year before he was born at age 4. Father - Passed away in 2009. Was in the RAF. Grandfather - Survived Auschwitz, but his parents died in Auschwitz.
My Relatives
Auntie Jean - Sweet woman, very kind and quiet. Uncle Don - I last saw him when I was 3. He was a nice man. Great Grandfather - Lovely man. Ex-miner. Great Grandmother - I never got to meet her.

I bought a personalised printed candle and one of those multi picture photo frames and have a small pic of all 7 relatives we are missing. I'll have it on a table with the guest book. Some people also suggest poems ( and some on here are brilliant at making up poems). Perhaps printed out and put in a photo frame.
