Bereavement Gifts

Forget-Me-Not, a valued sentiment. Unique sympathy gifts are hard to come by, but at this sensitive time, a bereavement gift can be just the right touch to provide needed comfort. As an expression of condolence this gift is unique.

A bereavement is a difficult time. It is comforting for the bereaved to feel that people are thinking about them and what better way to show you care than sending a framed prayer or poem either with celtic crucifix, boat or other artwork.

 The idea of the connection with the person who has passed on is comforting and reassuring. Sometimes it is hard to write a letter but these words are sure to convey warmest sentiments. A personal message and date can be put on the back of the frame.

Driftwood dreams can create sympathy inspirational gifts with discretion and understanding. As a believer and a creative artist, I am sensitive to people's feelings and understand what you may be feeling.

A lot of time and feeling goes into the making of the cross and collecting of flowers to make this gift. I like to think this is reflected in the care and attention to detail which makes this so personal. embellished with real dried "forget-me-nots".

If you prefer the plain prayer, the forget-me-not border surround makes for a pretty and valued gift. The content of the poem is Native American and has been passed down for generations.

The framed prayer and celtic style cross can be gift wrapped in celtic paper which is black and gold.
This is tied with black and gold curling ribbon.
This is £1 extra.
A personalised message of your choice can be attached for no charge.

The gift can be taken to a funeral or rest home by yourselves or posted from me to yourself or named person.

The price for a framed celtic cross and prayer is £28.00 including UK First Class Postage. This includes, wrapping, personalised message and sympathy card if required.

If you prefer a framed prayer without the cross the price is £16.50 including first class post.  Special designs such as the boat above are about £30-£35.00 depending on requirements.

Crosses can be made to hang loose without a frame.
These crosses can be hung up in a room or on your bed head.  All crosses come wrapped in tissue & ribbon. They incorporate a wire hook and raffia for hanging. These are about 7 cm long. Unframed crosses are £17 including first class post UK delivery.

Crosses can also be set on driftwood as this one.

Prices are £35.00 including UK postage for a similar commission.

Here is another verse which I find very uplifting. This can be changed to "he".

Remembrance

"You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she's gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,
or you can do what she'd want, smile, open your eyes, love and go on!"

Celebrate Their Life with a Sculpture

Another idea to remember a loved one is to celebrate their life with a sculpture.  If you can provide me with a history of the person and send me poignant items from their life, I can create a unique sculpture to encapsulate their lifespan.  For more details follow this link >>Life Sculpture.
