A brother is often the person who knew you the longest, which can make navigating his loss extremely difficult, and words hard to share. Our brother memorial gifts leave room for those words to be shared, with a gift to hold those cherished times. The options for gifts range from a jade glass heart, to slates bearing his name, a lantern that keeps a light by his grave, and more. 

Sisters and brothers typically choose most of these for themselves, and parents and friends send them to a grieving sibling. For a wider range of personalised memorial gifts, browse our glass heart keepsakes, and engraved slate memorials, which hold further pieces for a garden or graveside.

Personalised Gifts To Remember Your Brother, in Glass, Slate and Light

The jade glass heart is the memorial gift people look at most, so this range opens with it.

  • Glass and Crystal: A 15 x 15cm jade glass heart takes your wording on its bottom three lines and comes presented in silk-lined packaging. A glass plaque, engraved in small or large, carries his dates, and a crystal clock with dandelions reads “Brother In Loving Memory”.
  • Slate and Graveside: A slate heart, 20cm across and bearing his name, hangs on jute rope, and a 20 x 10cm slate plaque is laser engraved with his details. There’s also a cousin-brother slate heart for a cousin who was as close as a brother. For his grave, there’s a 15cm plaque ornament with room for words you choose, and a white flame-effect lantern bearing his name.
  • Lamps and Candles: A 22cm USB lamp and an 18cm photo night light glow at home. Embellished candles of 8cm come in Lavender, Paris Garden or Sea Breeze, and frosted 10cm candles burn for around 80 hours, alongside photo lanterns and two tealight holders.
  • Frames From Your Childhood On: A solid oak book frame shows his photo on one side and engraving on the other. A double 6x4 frame engraved “Brother in loving memory” sets two pictures side by side. Wooden frames carry the words “Brother. In Loving Memory” above a short verse, and dandelion frames come in oak or white.
  • Boxes and Books: Keepsake boxes printed with his photo come medium or large, beside an engraved box that holds 6x4 prints and a 16cm dandelion box. Feather albums for 50 photos, a 100-photo dandelion album and wooden guest books hold the rest.
  • Small Keepsakes: Two styles of 10cm Christmas heart, an acrylic photo heart and a hanging MDF plaque round off the range.

Which Brother Memorial to Choose

Start with how much you want to say: a heart or slate for your own words, a frame for a photo, or a lantern when words feel too hard.

Tip: If you're writing on the jade glass heart, read your three lines aloud first, because a line that sounds right spoken usually fits the space best.

What to Write in Memory of Your Brother

Searching for the right message for a brother is one of the most common things people do before ordering, so here are lines that fit a heart, a slate or a card. The jade heart and slate heart take your own words, while the frames carry a set verse with his dates.

  • “My brother, my first friend, forever missed.”
  • “[Name], [years]. A brother in a million.”
  • “Side by side or miles apart, brothers are connected by heart.”
  • “Until we meet again, big brother.”
  • “Your laugh still fills every family gathering.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I write in memory of my brother?

Aim for a line or two that sounds like you, such as his nickname with “forever missed”, or a memory only you share. The jade glass heart takes three lines, which suits a short message with his name and years.

Is there something for a cousin who was like a brother?

Yes. The cousin-brother slate heart is 20cm natural slate, personalised with his name and hung on a jute rope.

What can I send to someone who has lost their brother?

A frosted candle personalised for him, or the jade glass heart in its gift box, gives them something lasting. We’ll deliver it to them for you with no prices enclosed.
