Why Families Choose Memorial Dog Tags: Stories of Love and Remembrance
Every family has their own unique way of remembering the people they’ve loved and lost.
For some, a Loved One is remembered by a dedicated bench in their favorite park. For others, a bouquet of flowers left at the cemetery can help them remember the vibrance of the person they miss. For many, a personalized Dog Tag is a comforting memorial that they can hold close each day.
Memorial Dog Tags are an especially meaningful option for families—whether their Loved One was a veteran or not—that signifies the impact of a life and legacy.
How Do Dog Tags Memorialize a Loved One?
Throughout history, Dog Tags have been known as a powerful symbol that not only identifies an individual, but also their legacy. Many families have chosen to use this symbol as a thoughtful way to memorialize a Loved One who has died.
To keep their Loved One’s memory close, families will choose to personalize a Dog Tag with their late Loved One’s name, date of birth, date of death, and custom inscription that is meaningful to them.
Dog Tags from Legacy Touch can also be personalized with a fingerprint, so that each time you feel the lines and grooves of a Loved One’s print on your Jewelry, you’ll know that they’re still with you.
If a Loved One was a veteran, families can also choose to feature the insignia of their military branch on the Dog Tag, creating a lasting tribute to their bravery.
