After a loss, a keepsake with their photo can be a quiet comfort: something to wrap up in, wear to a celebration of life, or hang where you see it every day. These are the memorial gifts families choose most, with tips for choosing the photo and the words.
- A soft photo blanket to hold on hard days.
- A canvas or poster for the living room.
- A photo ornament that keeps them part of the holidays.
- Matching shirts for a celebration of life.
- An everyday mug or pillow.
Memorial blankets
A photo blanket is often the most treasured memorial gift because it is something you can physically hold. Choose a photo where their face is clear and they look like themselves. Add their name and years, or a short phrase they loved.
See memorial blankets and memorial pillows.
Canvas prints and posters
A canvas brings a favorite photo into the home. Portraits work well in a vertical poster; group photos and landscapes suit a horizontal canvas. Leave a little space under the photo for a name and dates.

Ornaments for every holiday season
A ceramic photo ornament makes space for them at every Christmas. Many families order one for each household. You can print the photo on the front and a name, dates or a short message on the back.

Shirts for a celebration of life
Matching memorial shirts let a whole family, team or community carry the memory together at a service, walk or reunion. A simple design works best: the photo, their name, and the years.
See memorial shirts. Pieces of the same style count together for the quantity discount, which helps when ordering for a large family.
Choosing the photo and the words
- Use the clearest photo you have. Scan printed photos at high resolution rather than photographing them.
- Faces first. A close photo where they are smiling usually means more than a wide scene.
- Keep the words short: a name, the years, or a phrase such as "Forever in our hearts", "Always with us" or a favorite saying.
- Remove the background in the editor if you want them to stand out on a shirt or mug.

Frequently asked questions
Can I add a name and dates?
Yes. Choose Picture + text in the editor and type their name, years or a short message.
My only photo is old or small. Will it work?
Scan the original at high resolution if you can. The editor warns you if the photo is too small for the size you chose, and you can make the print smaller.
Can I order just one?
Yes. There is no minimum, and you will see a preview before you pay.
Make a memorial blanket, canvas, ornament or shirt with their photo. See it before you pay.
