Husband Memorial Gifts

Grave Ornaments and Keepsakes for a Husband

This range is centred around the home you shared, the things he left, and his graveside, and you’ll find gifts for each location.

• At His Graveside: A 15cm plaque ornament takes your own wording and suits outdoor or indoor use. A 15cm stone plaque carries his photo, name and a quote. A white graveside lantern of 22.5cm, engraved with his name and a date, gives a battery-powered flickering flame and can hang from a shepherd’s crook or stand upright.
• Lamps and Lights at Home: A 22cm USB lamp with its own switch arrives in a presentation box. A 20cm glass lamp with dandelions and a verse takes his dates of birth and passing. Photo lanterns with a rose design come in bronze or white, alongside a remembrance light and a wooden tea light holder with his photo.
• Keepsake Boxes: The biggest engraved box measures 30 x 20 x 13cm and shuts with a hinged lid and clip. Photo boxes in ribbon or wood, a white-coated luxury box in two sizes, a feather box and a 16cm vintage dandelion box are here too.
• Frames: An oak-finish portrait frame engraved “Husband” comes in three photo sizes, from 4x6 up to 8x10. A dandelion frame holds a 5 x 5 inch picture with his name and dates printed beneath.
• For Someone Who Has Lost Their Husband: A “Sorry for Your Loss” plaque with his photo stands on a wooden base. A 10cm acrylic heart holding his picture arrives in a silk-lined box. There’s also a crystal glass clock engraved “Husband In Loving Memory”.
• Albums and Guest Books: A wooden guest book doubles as a scrapbook. A ring-bound scrapbook starts with 30 pages and takes more, and photo albums hold 50 or 100 pictures.

Choosing a Memorial for Your Husband, or for a Widow

Firstly consider where the gift is going to be kept. Is it going to be outside by his grave, near the home, or go to someone newly bereaved?

Tip: The graveside lantern is supplied without batteries and takes three AAA, so pack a spare set if it is going straight to his grave.

Words for a Husband’s Memorial

Husband memorials often carry words only a partner would write, so keep them short enough to fit and personal enough to be his. The plaque ornament takes your own text, while the lantern and glass lamp keep their set wording and add his name or dates.

• “My husband, my best friend, my everything.”
• “[Name], [years]. Loved by his wife and family.”
• “Together for [number] years, apart for now.”
• “Until I see you again, my love.”
• “Forever my husband, forever my heart.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a thoughtful gift for someone who has lost their husband?

A “Sorry for Your Loss” plaque or an acrylic heart, each showing his photo, gives them something of him to keep. We can send either directly to them in a parcel that carries no prices.

Which husband grave ornaments can stay outside?

The graveside plaque ornament and stone photo plaque suit both outdoor and indoor display, and the graveside lantern is built to cope with outdoor conditions. Bring the lantern in or check its batteries after a long spell of bad weather.

Can I add the years we were married?

Yes, on the graveside plaque ornament, which takes your own wording. The lantern and glass lamp carry fixed text, adding only his name or his dates.
