Is it appropriate to say "in joyful memory" of someone who is deceased?
My church is selling bricks that will be placed in front of our church building that can be engraved in honor or memory of someone. My dad passed away in 2010 and I'd like to buy one in his memory. My dad was a happy, smiling man who made everyone feel good, so I am inclined to say "in joyful memory of..." but I wanted to see if people thought that seemed inappropriate for someone who is dead. Please share your thoughts.

it seams that you enjoy his memory. I see no harm in "in joyful memory" I would ask the person in charge of ordering the bricks if anyone else is using - joyful memory. "In loving memory" is often found on tomb stones. You might consider that. Sorry for your loss.

I think it's great and quite appropriate. Your dad would probably be very pleased about it. Some memories can be painful and some can be full of joy. It is nice to honor him that way.
