Memorial Ornaments

A memorial ornament goes on the tree every December, so the person is there for every Christmas that follows. When the family is spread across several homes, order the same wording for each household so everyone hangs a matching one.

Holiday orders: order by Mon, Dec 14 for Christmas delivery.

Memorial Slates & Gift Sets

Natural slate holds an engraving in a soft grey that suits a shelf, a home altar or a desk at work. A gift set is the thoughtful thing to send a grieving friend: it arrives ready to give, with nothing left to assemble.

  • Photo engraving is available on the pieces that offer it. It engraves in one tone, never colour.
  • Send it straight to the family: you type their address at checkout.

En Memoria (Spanish & bilingual)

En memoria de, Siempre en nuestros corazones, Descansa en paz. Many El Paso families grieve in Spanish, or in both languages at once, and the wording should sound like them.

Questions

What do people usually engrave on a memorial ornament?

Most families use four short lines: a top line such as “In Loving Memory” or a relation (Mom, Dad, Abuelita), the full name, the years, and a short phrase like “Forever in our hearts”. Fewer words engrave larger and read more easily.

Can the memorial be in Spanish or in both languages?

Yes. Type the Spanish exactly as it should read, with every accent and ñ, and it is engraved as typed. The En Memoria collection has pieces made for Spanish and bilingual wording.

Can you engrave a photo of my loved one?

On the pieces that offer it, yes: you add the photo on the product page in our shop. A photo engraves in one tone, as fine shading on the material, not in colour.

Ships within 2 business days of the order. Military and first-responder plaques ship within 3 business days. Orders shipping to El Paso and Las Cruces-area ZIP codes (798, 799, 880) ship one business day sooner, free.
