About The Event
Boats of Love, often represented by lighted lanterns, serve as a poignant symbol during grief remembrance ceremonies. These illuminated vessels offer a beautiful and heartfelt way to honor and remember loved ones who have passed away. Here’s a closer look at their significance and how they are symbols of remembrance.
Journey of the Soul: Boats symbolize the journey of the soul, navigating through life and beyond. The act of setting lanterns afloat represents sending loved ones on their final voyage.
Light in Darkness: The light from the lanterns signifies hope, love, and the enduring spirit of those who have departed. It serves as a reminder that their memory continues to shine brightly in the hearts of those left behind.
Connection and Remembrance: Each lantern can be personalized with names, messages, or memories, creating a tangible connection between the living and the deceased, allowing participants to express their love and remembrance.
