How to Choose a Memorial Ornament
- Photo or no photo. A photo ornament keeps a face close; a name-and-dates design is quieter and works well as a sympathy gift when you don't have a good picture.
- Material. Acrylic and aluminum ornaments are light and hard to break, wood feels warm and handmade, and ceramic has a classic keepsake look.
- Words. A short line reads best on a small ornament: a name, the years, and a phrase such as "Forever in our hearts" or "Always with you".
Memorial Ornaments as Sympathy Gifts
A personalized ornament is a gentle gift for a grieving friend or family member: it is small, it doesn't ask anything of them, and it becomes part of a tradition they can return to each year. Many families hang it on the tree during the first Christmas after a loss, and keep it out on a shelf the rest of the year.
