3 Ways Memorial T-Shirts Can Keep the Dead Close To Heart
For those in mourning, keeping the memory of a departed loved one alive is a crucial step towards life moving on. While people have different ways of grieving for their loss, it is universally valuable to feel emotionally close to the dead – feeling their presence long after they’re gone. And if a memorial T-shirt could show anything, it would show exactly how deeply one misses the deceased. In any occasion, “In Loving Memory” T-shirts bring family members, groups of friends and communities together in treasuring the memory of the dead.
What is a Memorial T-shirt?
Memorial T-shirts are a highly sentimental piece of fashion to express one’s bereavement and fondness for a dead loved one. They can be fitting to wear during a funeral, reunion, or other gathering to commemorate the dearly departed.
For most T-shirt designs, an image, or multiple images, of a deceased loved one is typically the centre of attention, whether placed at the front or the back. High quality inks and state-of-the-art printing are essential to create a design which would last long enough to convey the permanence of the deceased’s memory.
The design of a t-shirt can be customized according to the mourners’ preferences and can be arranged in different ways, such as to include:
- quotations from the Scripture or other religious texts
- the loved one’s photos at varying ages of their life
- their names and nicknames to the people they were close to
- a photo album of the deceased together with friends and family
- and comforting graphics, such as clouds, roses, and angel wings
Oftentimes, the design also includes the dates for their birth and death, as well as a phrase such as “In Loving Memory,” or “Always in our Hearts.” With many combinations, it is necessary to produce a design with which the bereaved can proudly show their affection and remembrance.
T-shirts Designed to Celebrate Life
The passing of a loved one is invariably a difficult ordeal for their surviving friends and family – that’s why a memorial T-shirt can be such a powerful tool to help mourners reconcile with the death as well as keep the memory of their loved one physically and emotionally close to heart. Wearing such a shirt signals that their legacy persists in truly touching ways, such as with their children and grandchildren appreciating how much they resemble the image of their loved one on their shirt, or old friends recognizing a signature smile. Everyone at a gathering can take time reflecting just how much the deceased had gone through in life through a tasteful and stylish design. Indeed, there is no shortage of tender moments that can be brought by wearing a shirt designed in the spirit of a memorial.
Strengthening Bonds among Friends and Family
A well-designed memorial T-shirt has a rare charm to it that helps mourners from different walks of life come together seamlessly as one community in times of mourning. Even complete strangers can feel a sense of unity in wearing the same “in loving memory” shirt as everybody else, and it can even make for an excellent conversation starter among guests; they might be part of one of the images on the shirt, or even took the photo themselves, or they could have stories that an image or quote reminded them about. The dead’s family can take turns reminiscing about the past based on how their loved one looked like at different times. For an occasion as sentimental as a memorial gathering, there is great comfort in sharing sorrows and fond memories with the people around you.
A Piece of Closure For Everyone
As hard as it sounds, there are circumstances wherein a loved one is unable to attend the dead’s funeral or memorial gathering. It is a crushing feeling that can make the grieving process even harder, especially for a close friend or relative. A memorial T-shirt sent in the mail or whenever they could stop by to visit the dead’s family would be a touching gift to allow them to say their own farewells and reconnect them with everyone else. The quality of such a T-shirt should also be physically comfortable so that the wearer can even go to sleep with their loved one close to them.
Coping with such a loss is undoubtedly hard for anyone and it’s hard to let go. Having an “In Loving Memory” T-shirt to wear can comfort you with the fact that the spirit of your dead loved one lives on and that you will never forget the many happy memories you’ve shared with them.
