Creating Personalized Memorial Home Decor:

After losing someone you love, sometimes the new "firsts" are so much harder than you expected. Creating new family photos or artwork is an emotional roller-coaster, whether it's soon or years after the loss, It creates a tangible keepsake separating "before" and "after" and you are left trying to balance remembering them without overpowering the presence of those who remain behind. Our lead artist and owner developed our memorial artwork add-ons as a solution to the heart-wrenching question of how to include a family member who has passed away in new family artwork without making it just about them.

Whether you want a piece dedicated solely to your loved one with their names and sunrise/sunset dates and/or favorite saying -- or you want something with all the kids' names on it but want to signify your loss somehow without diminishing the importance of the rest of the family members, our family name wall art is a classy, caring way to remember loved ones lost. If you're struggling with ideas for memorial art, here are some of our best "in memory" keepsake ideas:

• MEMORIAL ART DEDICATED TO 1 PERSON OR A COUPLE - Choose a sign with enough planks to get in everything you want. Ideas for individual planks"
  
  • Add "In Memory" or "In Loving Memory" to the top
    
  • Add their sunrise/sunset dates. We like to add a heart between (don't use an emoji - type { to generate a heart.
    
  • If this is for a pet, you can add paw prints by typing }
  • Add their names. Or add both parents' titles.
    
  • Add their favorite/trademark saying. Break it into a couple of planks if you need to.
  • Some people believe that their loved ones send signs to know their love is still strong, and we have butterflies, cardinals, dragonflies and hummingbirds you can add as an extra special touch. (If you prefer an option we don't have (like an owl or robin, or if you need 2 male or 2 female cardinals), just let us know in the notes.
• FAMILY WALL ART HONORING EVERYONE, INCLUDING YOUR ANGELS
  - Ideas for "traditional" families that share a last name
  
  • Add your last name to the top
    
  • Add "Established - (year)" either alone or with heart or arrow art when parents were married or the family became "official"
    
  • Add a plank with each family member's name
  • Don't forget your furry friends. Add a paw print after their name.
  • Use our design tool to add butterflies, dragonflies, or hummingbirds to the plank for those you've lost.
  
  - Ideas for "non-traditional" or blended families that don't share a last name
  
  • Add "This is Us"  of "Family is Defined by Love" top
    
  • Add hearts or arrows with a divider, or add the date the families blended. Or just add names.
