Memorial gifts are not only thoughtful, they can become treasured possessions for the people you give them to. Likewise, you can purchase "In Memory Of" keepsakes for yourself, so that you'll always have a reminder of your departed loved one, such as a parent or close friend.
These items are not just objects or products, but something meaningful that will have lasting sentimental value to you and those you present them to. Not only will memorial keepsakes honor your loved one's memory, they radiate the presence of the person you've lost.
Of course, here at Memories we think the best "In Memory Of" gift is a Memories online memorial. It's private, secure, and you can invite family and friends to share photos, videos and memories on it over time. But in this article, we've curated an extra 10 "In Memory Of" gifts that you can give to loved ones, friends, and close co-workers and associates.
