Memorial Lanterns and Candles: Sympathy Gifts to Cherish Memories

When someone suffers a loss, the world can feel a lot darker during their grief. Many cultures use candlelight to symbolize memory and hope. If you know someone who has lost a loved one, a thoughtful gift of a hurricane lamp or a candle could give them a loving ritual to remember them by.

These five items shed a warm glow to kindle happier memories of the loved one’s life.

Our curated list is intended to help you find the right gift for someone who needs a little light during this difficult time.

1. Personalized Memories Hurricane Lamp

This Personalized Memories Hurricane Lamp has many options to make your gift unique. Choose between two sayings (Forever On Our Minds or Your Life Gave Us) and then add two lines of your own in either a block or script font. You can add a name and important dates in honor of the memory of the person who has passed. Although made to hold a candle, you can also create a beautiful centerpiece with shells, trinkets, ornaments, or glass beads to create a loving tribute.
