Unique Memorial Gift Ideas
Memorial gift ideas should be subtle, a reminder of the person, a way of honoring them. That they are not forgotten. Memorial gift ideas should be viewed as part of the grieving process.
Some of the most poignant memorial ideas that I have come across are listed below. These memorial gift ideas vary from ones suitable for the outdoors, the garden or personal keepsakes. Many of these can be personalised.
Memorial Tree
A gift idea that is becoming more popular is a memorial tree planted in honour of a departed loved one. These tree’s are planted in a dedicated site and a certificate of planting, a photo of the tree are given the the recipient to frame. A plaque is also kept on site with the tree. There are also options where you can send a tree via post, as a gift to plant.
Garden Memorial Rocks
A gift idea that has really taken off in America is to have a Garden memorial rock placed as a feature. They have memorial plaques set in them, in dedication and can be a focal point for remembrance and contemplation. These rocks can vary in size from small stepping stones to large boulders.
Commemorative candles
One of the oldest symbols of faith and spirituality, of hope are candles. There are many wonderful candles that one can have that are personalised. These gift ideas in memory of someone are beautiful focal points. The candles are embossed with designs, Celtic images and can have a message of sympathy or dedication marked on them.
Memorial Picture Frames
Hand carved memorial picture frames are a great gift idea. These works of art can be used to frame the Tree photo’s mentioned above, or special photo’s. They are intricate in design and allow for several differing images to be incorporated.
I hope that these memorial gift ideas, help you in picking out one that will hopefully be healing and an apt dedication.
