    Well, I think it's the funeral and wake to start. Giving little remeberances to the family and grave goods to the one who passed. Sharing kind words, stories, and pictures. And in some cases having a toast to that person everytime you get a glass of the good stuff. And always having something out that was their's so that you think about them everyday and remeber them in your thoughts and prayers. And definitly staying in contact with he people who ment most to them.Doing things in their memory to help others. Just little stuff like that goes a long way.

    Attending the funeral for me, other people it is enough to send a card. To let a person know that you respect their loss it is enough just to say "I am sorry"

    Just an acknowledgement. I don't believe in rituals such as two minute silences (during which I doubt most people are thinking what they're "supposed" to be), flags and badges and remembrance days and the like. I believe we should remember injustice and bravery and good people all the time, not just because someone tells us this is the right thing to do and this is the day on which we do it even though we don't think about it at all for the rest of the year. You just have to every now and then of your own accord take time to remember and give a mental salute to the person or people concerned. Doing something to continue their good work (such as giving to an appropriate charity) is a good thing too. I also like the idea of celebrating their memory by doing something they would've liked - biker funerals or funerals with a theme or where people do something silly and have a great time I think are often a much better way to pay respects than standing around sombre in black singing dreary hymns.
