Things to Keep in Mind When Choosing a Quote for Dad’s Memorial
As you’re choosing what to have engraved on your dad’s memorial, keep the following tips in mind:
- Choose a quote that was meaningful to your dad. One of the best ways to find a quote for your dad’s memorial is to search through books, movies, or songs for a line he loved. When you choose an inscription based on art he admired, the memorial will have even more meaning than a generic quote.
- Make sure the quote will fit on the memorial. Memorial Keepsakes come in all kinds of different shapes and sizes. As you’re choosing a quote, think about if it will fit on the Keepsake you want. For example, a Fingerprint Ring will require a shorter quote than a Fingerprint Bookmark.
- Remember you can always write your own inscription. Sometimes the most meaningful thing to engrave on a memorial is what you write yourself. Whether “I love you”, “miss you”, or even a nickname he called you, remember that you can always come up with an original inscription for your Keepsake that honors your father figure.
If you have recently lost your dad, please accept our truest sympathies. May you continue to feel close to him, now and always.
