About Memory JAR
Memory JAR provides comfort and support to the grieving community through personalized memorial ideas to keep the memories of loved ones alive. We believe the farewell of our loved ones begins with a celebration of their lives.
Memory JAR strives to have a comforting impact on those dealing with the pain of losing someone they love. We continue to help others heal through our events, on-line memorials and our products.
Memory JAR is a tax-exempt organization under the Section 501(c)3. We depend largely upon private donations to cover operational and philanthropic expenses.
Candle Lighting To Remember Sunday, November 5 4:00 pm – 6:00pm
Share a memorable and meaningful evening with your family and friends at Memory JAR’s 12th Annual Candle Lighting to Remember. Come decorate your own unique luminary with markers, stickers and photos – all supplies other than photos are provided. These decorated luminaries symbolize our love and the memories of those who passed away. At 5pm, everyone lines their luminary in the sand with a colored tea light. When the sun sets, the shore of Laguna Beach is radiant with all the luminaries to celebrate and remember our loved ones.
This event is open to everyone at no charge.

Idea Exchange
What has had a profound impact on us are the various stories people have shared about their loved ones over the years – how they personalized memorials, traditions they do year after year, and other creative endeavors. After hearing so many stories it occurred to us that it would be a great idea to share them with everyone.
There is an old proverb that says “Grief shared is halved; joy shared is doubled.” In our desire to be strong for each other as humans when we share our losses we do become stronger. It doesn’t diminish the pain but there is no doubt it helps us see more than ever that death is our universal truth.
