After the funeral, memorial service, or life celebration, many families wish to have something permanent as a reminder of the person that they loved through life and recently lost. It may help you as a director to think about what was important to the person through the loved ones' eyes. What did they value? What made them smile? Perhaps by beginning there, the appropriate memorial gift will present itself. Consider these memorial gifts to help families you serve remember their loved ones:
- Give a personalized memorial ornament to the families. The holidays can be the hardest times to get through without a loved one, but a personalized memorial ornament will gladly be displayed in your clients' homes as a reminder of the loved one they miss during those special times.
- Give a tree in their memory. Tree seedlings can be labeled with your funeral home's name, message, or logo directly on the packaging at funeralhomepromos.com/funeral-home-supply.html. Simply type "trees" or "plants" as your search category in the category field, and you'll find over 100 options including potted plants, seedlings, and potted herb gardens or flowers. Each can be customized with your message of comfort, and the low prices allow these to be purchased for every family you've directed a service with for their loved one.
- Have your love one's photo placed on a custom-designed cremation urn. Cremation urns can be personalized through a photo imprint process called sublimation, where a full color photograph is permanently printed into the urn. Product options can be discussed with Keystone Specialties' representatives by calling 800-240-8639 Monday thru Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM Eastern Standard Time.

- Donate a memorial bench to a park. if they loved surfing, for example, a bench made in the shape of a wakeboard could be placed at a public beach with the loved one's story on a plaque mounted to the front. You may also consider purchasing a plaque or a brick in their name to help fund a community project.
