make a memory cube

A 'memory cube' is a cardboard or wooden cube that you decorate yourself in a way that captures some of your memories of a dead loved one.

Creating a memory cube is one way of spending time reflecting on someone's life, who they were, and the experiences you shared. Making a cube can be done with others, or in private.

There are lots of different approaches you can take to decorating your own memory cube, depending on your tastes, creativity and artistic leanings. Photographs, dried flowers, objects, poems, quotes and drawings can all be combined to produce a finished product which is evocative and personally meaningful.
