Celebrate the Life of a Loved One with These Willow Tree® Memorial Gifts

1. Celebrate the Life of a Loved One with These Willow Tree® Memorial Gifts Grieving is different for each person. No process is the same. Many choose to celebrate the life of their loved one, focusing on good memories and sharing with others. In these difficult times, it’s best to spread messages of hope, comfort, and sympathy. With figures from the Willow Tree® collection, you can send a kind message while celebrating the life of a loved one. Remembrance Ornament This 4.5-inch tall figurative sculpture is part of a series of figurine ornaments. The figure is a female angel with her arms crossed under a small, gold heart. There are icons and symbols of nature carved into the angel’s dress and it also features wire wings and a brown elastic cord for hanging. The piece, according to artist Susan Lordi, represents memories. Memories are warm and comfortable, and they help us heal when we are missing someone dear to us. Given as a gift, it represents sympathy and comfort, remembrance of those no longer with us, and healing. Vigil Another figure in a collection of memorial gifts, Vigil offers a strong message of hopefulness and healing. It’s a 10-inch tall sculpture depicting a woman holding a candle and protecting the flame against the wind. A gradient of gold to white with applied gold leaf dots on her dress mirrors the candle’s flame. A piece symbolizing comfort and mindfulness, the colors suggest a glow from within, carrying a flame in remembrance, a spark of life that will not go out despite the loss of a loved one.

2. A Tree, A Prayer A female angel with hands in the prayer position, featuring wire wings and a tree carved into the angel’s dress, this piece is meant to provide comfort to the recipient. The tree is a metaphor for strength, beauty, and peace, while the prayer is a symbol of hope and healing. Trees both ground us and connect us to each other, including those who have passed. As a reference to the Tree of Life, the carving represents a connection with everything, a reminder that you are never alone, and encouragement that you are able to weather the storms of life. Though losing someone dear causes grief, there is still hope, as the leaves of a tree come back after winter. Forget-Me-Not This 5-inch tall figure depicts a woman holding blue forget-me-not flowers. Representing timeless friendship and love spanning any distance, the name of the flowers sends a powerful message: Those no longer with us will not be forgotten. As an expression of love and caring, the piece expresses sympathy, comfort, and healing. Forget-me-nots also symbolize faithful, true, and everlasting love and memories—a connection lasting through time despite challenges and separation. The flowers act as a reminder of your favorite memories and your time together with those who have passed. To browse the full Willow Tree® collection, visit https://www.willowtree.com/
