Personalised Memorial Gifts & Keepsakes

When someone has lost a person they love, a personalised memorial gift can be a quiet way of saying they are not forgotten. A favourite photo on a slate, a pendant to wear close or a bauble for the tree helps keep a loved one part of everyday life. Every keepsake is made with care in our Sowerby Bridge workshop.

Choosing a remembrance keepsake

There is no right or wrong choice. Some people find comfort in something they can see every day; others prefer something small and private. These are the pieces people most often choose.

A photo to display

A photo slate gives a favourite picture a soft, timeless finish, with hand-chipped edges and its own stand for a shelf or mantelpiece. The crystal photo block makes the image appear to float inside clear crystal, and the small size arrives in a presentation box. Both have room for a short line, such as a name and dates.

Something to wear or carry

A photo necklace keeps a loved one close, and arrives in a gift pouch. A photo keyring is a discreet everyday reminder, and works just as well for a much-missed pet.

Remembering at Christmas

The first Christmas after a loss can be especially hard. A personalised bauble with their photo and name gives them a place on the tree each year. Please order by 15 December for Christmas delivery.

Choosing the photo

  • Pick a photo where their face is clear and well lit. A relaxed, natural picture often means more than a formal one.
  • Old prints can be scanned or carefully photographed in daylight, without flash.
  • For small items such as the necklace, crop in closely on one face.

Wording ideas

Simple words usually feel right: a name with years ("Margaret · 1941–2026"), "Always in our hearts", "Forever loved" or a phrase they used to say. If you are unsure, a name alone is perfect.

Handled with care

We know these orders matter. Your photos are kept in private storage and used only to make your keepsake, and a real person checks every design before it is made. Allow 1–3 working days for making and 2–3 working days for Royal Mail. If you have any questions before ordering, please email us at grant@laserandink.co.uk.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good memorial gift for someone grieving?

A photo slate or crystal photo block with a favourite photo is something they can keep on display. A photo necklace is a more personal, private choice.

Can I use an old or printed photo?

Yes. Scan the print, or photograph it carefully in daylight without flash. The clearer the image, the better the result.

What should I write on a memorial keepsake?

A name with dates, or a short phrase such as “Always in our hearts”, is usually best. Keep it brief so the lettering stays clear.

Do you make pet memorial gifts?

Yes. Any of our photo keepsakes, including the photo slate, crystal block and keyring, work beautifully with a photo of a much-loved pet.
