Memorial and sympathy

Memorial gifts for the loss of a husband

Memorial gifts for someone who has lost her husband: a framed canvas of the two of them, an In loving memory ornament pair and framed photographs.

A gift for someone who has lost her husband is for a person whose whole home has changed. The kindest things keep him present in it without demanding attention: a photograph in a good frame, his name on something small.

Gifts for a widow

  • A framed canvas ($99) of a photograph of the two of them. It is 12 x 16 in, in a pine floating frame, and arrives ready to hang.
  • An "In loving memory" ornament pair ($39) with his name and years: one for her, and one for a child or for his parents.
  • A framed photo print ($44 for 8 x 10 in) for a bedside table, with up to four photographs and his name underneath.
  • A single metal ornament ($23) in the same design, light and unbreakable, when one small keepsake is enough.

Choosing the photograph

Ask her, or ask someone close to her. Most people have one picture they think of as "him", and it is rarely the formal one. If you cannot ask, an ornament with his name avoids the question.

The wording

His first name, or the name she called him, and the years. If you add a line, keep it to a few words, and avoid phrases that tell her how to feel.

If you are buying this for yourself

Choose the photograph that makes you smile, not the one you think you ought to choose. There is no right time to order it.
