In general, memorials should focus on the life lived, rather than on the method
          of death

Yearbook memorials should be a regular sized picture with a simple
          statement such as "We’ll miss you"

If a school were to create a permanent or lasting memorial for one person,
          it would be difficult to refuse a similar memorial for another person.
          For example, a school that planted a tree for a student who died, realized

          this was needed also for a second death and then a third. The resulting group

          of trees came to be referred to as "the graveyard" by students. Another
          school had a "memorial tree" die during one dry summer and had to address
          the hard feelings of the family who thought the tree had not been given
           proper care

There are many wonderful ways to support student’s as loved one’s do need
           to be remember, examples include: cards, food, kind words, work parties

           for relatives, scholarship funds, contributions to a favorite charity, flowers,
           or being remembered after the urgent time of the tragedy

Parents and loved ones especially want to know people miss the person and
          there was great sadness at the loss; they also want to know people assisted
          the grieving friends

Permanent or lasting memorials are not encouraged as a way for schools
          to remember someone who died as a result of suicide
