A sympathy gift for someone who has lost their mother
Flowers arrive in the first week and are gone by the second. A blanket with her photograph, her name, and a few words stays on the sofa, and it is there on the evenings when the house is quiet.
Memorial Photo
For the chair they used to sit in.
Arched portrait, her name, her years, and room for real words.
Handwritten Message
Their actual handwriting, not a font pretending to be it.
Her handwriting from a card or a recipe, kept exactly as written.
Our Favorite Memories Photo
Four photos, one message, endless rewatching.
Four photographs of her, when one is not enough.
When to send it
It takes seven to twelve days to arrive: up to a day for a person to check the artwork, three to five to make, three to five in transit. Ordered in the week of the funeral, it arrives after the visitors have gone home. That is not too late.
Sending it directly
Enter their address at checkout. Nothing in the box shows the price, and gift orders ship without a receipt. Gift wrap and ribbon is $7.
Size and material
50 by 60 inches is the size for one person on the couch. Sherpa is the warm, heavy one and the default for the memorial design. Velveteen prints the sharpest portrait, which matters most when the only photograph is an old one.
