Along life`s path, there are our best memories as well as the darkest ones. Life is marked by experiences, and by far the deepest and most difficult is the death of a loved person. The process of coping with the absence of a person who was near and dear to us by heart is one of our deepest personal experiences, usually associated with certain rituals and symbols that serve as reminders and acknowledgements of the lives lost. From the abundance of these symbols, the memorial candle has a unique position being that it is a beacon of remembrance and a source of support in times of grief.
A Beacon of Remembrance
The practice of memorial candle to pay homage to the dead falls back to ancient times, and many cities of the world and their different religious sects share this ritual. Lighting a memorial candle is a small gesture of defiance, which goes beyond the language boundaries and touches people in their personal experience at the time of the loss. Pet Perennials provides us with a memorial candle that helps us when the loved one lost is an animal companion. The loss of a pet can often be more difficult than that of a human. Animal companions provide us with unconditional love. They are with us constantly. Their loss leaves a hole in our heart and in our daily life. The flickering light of Pet Perennials Healing Hearts Candle resembles the immortal soul of the departed pet, transcending the gloom of grief and representing the light we shared with our pet that will burn forever in our heart.
Honoring Tradition
In almost all cultures, lighting a candle is recognized as a prime necessity in observations of funeral rites and Memorial Day services. This is the way to express some tribute to the deceased, finding their intangible effect on our own life, so that their memory remains in generations to come. Whether it is a solitary flame burning in solitude or a collective display of candles appearing in a sacred space, the act of lighting a candle aims at convening people in a common feeling of grief and unity.

As the soy candle melts away a heart shaped keepsake is revealed.
