HOW THE ORDER PROCESS WORKS
Here are some ideas to add that personal touch to a memorial card:
Choose Meaningful Photographs or Imagery:
Select photographs that capture the essence of your loved one. These can be candid shots, portraits, or images that represent their passions and interests. The photographs you choose should evoke fond memories and celebrate their life. Or if you prefer, choose a special image which they loved, like a favourite holiday destination or which represents something they loved to do eg. fishing, hiking, skiing etc.
Include Heartfelt Messages:
Write a personal message or tribute that conveys your love and admiration for your loved one. Share stories, memories, or qualities that made them special. These messages can be heartfelt, funny, or even poetic, depending on the tone you want to set.
Incorporate Memorial Prayers, Verses, Poetry or Quotes:
If your loved one had a favorite verse, poem or quote, consider including it on the memorial card. These types of things can add depth and meaning to the card, and serve as a reminder of the values and beliefs your loved one held dear.
Use Symbols and Artwork:
Symbols and artwork can help capture the essence of your loved one’s life and passions. For example, being religious, you could choose an image of their favorite Saint. Or if they were a nature lover, you could include a small illustration of a tree or a flower. These symbols serve as visual representations of their personality and interests. The choice is yours to decide.
