Memorial Quotes

When your loved one passes away, you might choose one of these memorial quotes for engraving. They are inspiration for engraving on a piece of memorial jewellery (click here), on an urn, in a frame, a bench or for any memorial for pets and people. These are some phrases we’ve come across and ideas we have for using beautiful quotes. We also have a list of non-memorial and baby quotes here and Engraving Ideas for Gifts here for inspiration.

Engraved Text

Add your text – upper and lower case, numbers and punctuation and special characters to our engravable jewellery (click here). It will be deep black professional engraving, usually done in Arial font but please let us know if you’d prefer a different font. Perhaps you can choose Roman numerals, birth or marriage coordinates, or messages of love and memory. Here are some characters you can copy and paste: ! ❤ ✓ ☀ ☾ ★ ☽ ∞ ♫ 💧🐾

She walked in beauty

Your end, which is endless, is as a snowflake dissolving in the pure air

Where there is much light, the shadows are deepest

Resting with those he/she loved

Death isn’t the last sleep: it’s the final awakening

The song is ended, but the melody lingers on…

It is not length of life, but depth of life

It’s the circle of life, and it moves us all, through despair and hope, through faith and love

Loving memories last forever

Until we meet again

His/Her friends were his/her world

She/He loved people and laughter

He/She would rather give than receive

The end and the reward of toil is rest

He/She always stood for what was right and good.

And for this we shall forever cherish his/her memory.
