Memorial keepsakes
Memorial Photo Keepsakes on Natural Stone
A memorial photo gift that a family can actually hold — printed by hand onto natural slate, with a name, a date, or a line that meant something.
When someone we love passes, there is nothing that fixes it. But there are things that help us carry them, and a photograph is one of the strongest. A memorial photo gift turns that photograph into something permanent — real stone, printed by hand, with the name and dates beside it. It sits on a shelf or a mantel where the family sees it every day, not in a drawer with the cards.
We handcraft every piece in Coshocton, Ohio, and ship it anywhere in the United States. It is one workshop and one pair of hands, which is the only way a piece like this should be made. There is no rush in it, and no template. We show you the design and you approve it before anything is printed.
If you are ordering in memory of someone, we know how much this photo matters. Every piece is handled by hand by one person in Coshocton, Ohio, never run through a factory line. We treat your photo, and your memories, with care.
The First Holiday Without Them
Every holiday season, there are families sitting down to a table for the first time without someone they love. If that is you this year, you are in our thoughts.
A keepsake made from a photograph you love can be a quiet way to keep them near — at the table, or on the mantel. There is no hurry here, and nothing has to be decided today.
You are welcome to look whenever you are ready
When people order these
Who these are made for
Keepsakes that are especially meaningful for families include a memorial for a parent or grandparent, a piece for a service, and a sympathy gift for someone in the first hard weeks of a loss.
To honor someone who has passed
A favorite photograph of a parent, a grandparent, a spouse, a sibling, or a friend, printed onto stone with their name and dates. The picture that best captures who they were, not the most recent one.
For a service or a celebration of life
Families set a memorial piece on the memory table beside the flowers during the service, then bring it home afterward. It gives everyone something to look at together on the hardest day.
As a sympathy gift for someone grieving
When you do not know what to say, this says it. It arrives with the thoughtfulness already in it, and it is something they can hold on the nights when words do not help.
As the family keepsake that stays
A photograph can be printed, framed, and still end up in a closet. Real stone sits out. It becomes the piece the family keeps for years and hands to the next generation.
For a pet who was family
The companions who gave us their whole heart often have four legs. Pet memorials are some of the most meaningful pieces we make, and they belong on this page just as much as any portrait.
For a veteran or a service member
For someone who served, we can include their branch, their rank, and their years of service alongside the photograph — honoring the whole of who they were.
Forever in our hearts
A beloved father and grandfather kept close — his photograph printed on natural slate with the words “Forever in our hearts” and his years, 1942–2024. Names, dates, or a line that meant something can be added to any memorial we make.
Real finished pieces
What yours will look like
Every one of these is a real slate we made, photographed on its own display stand. The stone is split from nature, so no two edges are ever the same.
What you get
A real piece of stone, with your photograph on it
Every memorial we make is one full-color photograph printed permanently into a piece of natural slate. Here is exactly what the piece is.
- Real natural slate, split from stone — the chiseled edge is left exactly as it broke, so no two pieces are alike
- Your photograph printed into the stone in full color, with no glass, no glare, and nothing to frame
- Names, dates, a short quote, or a line the family always said — added at your request
- Several photographs combined into one design, a favorite for bringing generations together on one piece
- A display stand included, so it is ready to set out the moment you open it
- Sizes from 3 × 5 at $15 up to 8 × 10 at $55 — the 5 × 7 at $40 is the size most families choose
- Optional end-of-watch, branch, rank, and years of service for a military or first responder tribute

See it on stone.
Add your photo and see how it sits on the piece, before you order. Try each size and the piece changes shape with it — then nudge the crop and zoom until it frames the way you want.
This is just for seeing how a size looks. Nothing you add here is sent to us. Your real photo goes on your order at the upload step, and Wiley still shows you a proof before anything is printed.
Your photo appears on the piece here.
This is the preview only — it does not attach a photo to your order.
Try a size
The piece changes shape with the size, the same way a real one does — and the heart is a heart shape, not a rectangle.
Move the photo
Zoom
Preview only — your photo stays on your device. This tool just shows how a size looks. Nothing you add here is uploaded, saved, or sent anywhere, and it never reaches your order — the photo that goes with your piece is the one you attach at the upload step.
This is a preview, not the final proof. It shows how a centred crop will sit on the piece, but it cannot perfectly show how an image takes to real stone. Nothing is printed until you send your photo with your order and approve the design — and nothing you add here is part of your order.
How it works
Three steps, and nothing is printed until you approve it
Send us your photo
Text or email the picture you want on the stone — the original file from your camera roll if you can find it. The photo you already have is almost always good enough. Send it anyway, even if it is old, faded, or needs work.
We prepare the design — you approve it first
We lay out the photograph, the names, the dates, and any words you would like, then show it to you. Nothing is made until you say it is right, and you can cancel for a full refund before that point.
Handcrafted in 3 to 5 business days, then shipped
Once you approve it, your piece is printed by hand onto the stone and finished in Coshocton, Ohio. Most orders are done in 3 to 5 business days, then shipped to your door with its stand.
Send the photo you have. Even a snapshot off an old phone is fine — I’ll check its quality before printing and tell you if anything needs a look, and nothing is printed until you are happy.

“The owner of this small business is really nice. He made sure to ask if everything I ordered was correct, he kept me updated on everything and even sent me a picture when it got delivered. It was a fast delivery. I would most definitely order something from here again.”

Questions we get
Can I combine several photos on one memorial?
Yes. Bringing multiple photographs together on a single stone is one of the most meaningful things we do, and a favorite for parents and grandparents. Send the photos and tell us how you would like them arranged, and we will show you the design before it is printed.
What if I do not have a good photograph?
Send what you have. An old print, something scanned crooked, a phone picture taken at a birthday — those are often the ones that matter most. We clean it up, crop it to fit the piece, and lay out the design for you. The photo you already have is almost always good enough.
Can you add a name, dates, or a quote?
Yes. Names, dates, a short quote, a verse, or a line the family always said can all be included. Just tell us what you would like and we will show you how it looks before anything is made.
Do you make memorials for pets?
Yes, and they are some of the most meaningful pieces we make. A favorite photograph of a dog or cat with their name and years, printed on the stone — see the Four-Legged Memories collection for those.
How long does a memorial take?
Most orders are handcrafted within 3 to 5 business days after you approve the design, then shipped. Standard delivery takes about 5 to 7 business days after that, and expedited arrives in about 2 to 3 business days after it ships. If you are working toward a service date, reach out and we will tell you honestly whether the timing is doable.
Can you ship it directly to the family?
Yes. At checkout, choose “Ship it as a gift” and the address you enter becomes the recipient’s. A short message of yours can be written by hand on a note card that ships with the piece, so it arrives ready to give.
A gentle, lasting tribute, made by hand
Send us the photograph you would hate to lose, and we will put it on stone with the name, the dates, and the words that matter. Sizes $15 to $55, handcrafted in Coshocton, Ohio, and shipped to your door.
