At important occasions -- weddings, wakes, other passages, anything else -- display a covered vat of a pungent liquid. Everyone who attends may spend a moment or two by the vat at some point, and the air of the entire place may be faintly perfumed by it, if it's pleasant enough. The hanging-around-the-vat stage may be ritualized. Everyone takes away from the occasion a tiny, sealed vial of the liquid. Opening and smelling the contents will then return, years later, the memory of the day more vividly and more quickly than anything else. Not what happened and who was there, but the experience of the day: How you felt, what you did, what was said. Taking advantage of modern chemistry and the ability to distinguish a large number of scents, it should be possible to formulate unique, relatively inoffensive smells. Everything depends on this. This might work to some degree with colour or sound, but I think smells would work best.
