What is a Memorial Teddy Bear?
A Memorial Teddy Bear is a stuffed animal that is personalized to honor the life and love of your late family member or friend. At Legacy Touch, our Memorial Teddy Bears wear a personalized Necklace engraved with your Loved One’s fingerprint, handprint, or footprint so that every time you give the Bear a hug, you’ll feel close to the person you miss.
We offer two different Memorial Teddy Bears: Theo and Tate
- Theo the Keepsake Teddy Bear: With dark brown coloring and a checkered bow, Theo looks like a traditional, cuddly Teddy Bear and sits at 17 inches tall.
- Tate the Keepsake Teddy Bear: Tate sits at 18 inches tall, has a lighter cream coloring, and wears a soft white bow to complete their elegant look.
Both Teddy Bears can have a custom inscription added to the back of their Fingerprint Necklace of a monogram or custom inscription of up to 4 lines, 12 characters per line. The Memorial Teddy Bears also have the option of being engraved with a paw print to help provide comfort after the death of a pet.
