The loss of a mother is a challenging time, and many families look for something to keep her close: her name on a candle, her photo on a keepsake box, or a marker to display next to her grave. Our gifts in memory of Mum cover all of these. Where it’s an engraved slate marker, a remembrance candle or photo frame, guest book, or a porcelain heart with her name, we’ve got you covered.

Each gift is personalised by our team in our UK workshop, with most items displaying her name and dates alongside a favourite photograph. If you’re looking to send a personalised gift to a friend who’s lost their Mum, we’re able to deliver this to them without prices or invoices. Our most popular picks are candles and frames, and these can be found in our memorial candles, and memorial photo frames collections.

Mum Remembrance Gifts for Every Way of Remembering Her

People tend to want something to display alongside Mum's grave, others want a matching set from the funeral onwards, and some prefer something that can be held and cherished. Our Mum memorial range covers each:

  • Graveside Memorials for Mum: Engraved slate grave markers of 15 x 10cm on a ground stake, plain or with an angel or butterflies. There’s also a hand-painted lavender heart stone, 15cm graveside plaque ornaments for indoor or outdoor use, and a 20cm slate heart on a jute rope.
  • Butterflies and Flowers Collection: One design across a whole set, so pieces match. It includes a guest book with 80 lined pages, a photo album, a scrapbook, a tea light holder, photo frames and a 40 x 40cm linen cushion. A keepsake box with a magnetic lid and grosgrain ribbon completes it, in 17cm or 30cm sizes.
  • Candles, Lamps and Lights: Pink frosted-glass and embellished candles with around 80 hours’ burn time, in fragrances including Lavender, Sandalwood and Sea Breeze. You’ll also find photo lanterns printed on all four sides, LED lamps, photo night lights and a double tea light holder engraved “Mum In Loving Memory”.
  • Photo Frames for Mum: Oak-finish and white wooden frames with dandelion or butterfly designs, in 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10 photo sizes. There’s also a double 6x4 frame and a mother-of-the-bride wedding frame.
  • Small Keepsakes: A 7cm porcelain heart on a ribbon with her name and date, a 15cm jade glass heart and an acrylic photo heart. A crystal glass vase engraved “Mum always in our heart” and a crystal clock with butterflies complete the range.
  • Memory Boxes and Albums: Wooden keepsake boxes from 16cm to 30cm, with her photo, a feather design or dandelions. Butterfly photo albums hold 50 photos and come in black, pink or white.

Custom Inscription Ideas for Mum

Space varies by gift. Candles and plaques usually take a name, dates and a short line, while some frames carry a fixed verse with her dates. Check the personalisation options on each product page.

Popular wording for Mum includes:

  • “In loving memory of Mum, [Name], [dates].”
  • “Mum, forever in our hearts.”
  • “A mother’s love lives on.”
  • “Always our Mum, always loved.”
  • “Thinking of you this Mother’s Day, Mum.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good gift for someone who has lost their mother?

A personalised remembrance candle or our porcelain heart with her name is a gentle choice. Both are small enough to send and are kept long after the funeral. We can deliver either straight to your friend without prices or paper invoices.

Which Mum memorial gifts can go on a grave?

Our engraved slate grave markers stand on a ground stake, and the lavender heart stone is made from weather-resistant resin. The graveside plaque ornaments suit indoor or outdoor use. Please check each product page before choosing one for a grave.

Do you have memorial photo frames for a Mam?

Many of our frames are engraved “Mum” as part of the design. If you call her Mam, choose a frame where the title is personalised, such as our Because Someone We Love Is In Heaven frame. You can also choose a gift that carries her name, like the porcelain heart.

Do you have gifts for remembering Mum on Mother’s Day or a wedding day?

Yes. Many families light one of our remembrance candles on Mother’s Day, and our Christmas ceramic hearts remember her on the tree. For a wedding, our mother-of-the-bride frame is engraved “We know that you’d be here today, if Heaven weren’t so far away.”
