Memento Boxes

Protecting Precious Memories of a loved one

One of the most emotionally difficult experiences that we all face at one point of our lives is the loss of a loved one. It goes without saying that the grief that is experienced during this difficult situation can be immense. While everyone experiences grief differently, one of the most common practices is gathering the most heartwarming remembrances and mementos of the dearly departed to store them. Of course, it is very important to those who are collecting these irreplaceable effects, to store them in a way that will not only preserve the tokens of the life of a individual, but to do so in a way that allows these mementos to be revisited at any time. Going through the remembrances can definitely bring great comfort, as they can enjoy the memories associated with each item. Whether it is a simple toy car associated with a quirky story, or a military medallion bestowed upon the person for their bravery, these remembrances stand for a precious memory shared of the lost person.

Memento boxes offer a wonderful way to protect these precious memories so that they can be enjoyed at any time. These beautifully made chests offer a variety of looks that range from modern and contemporary, to sophisticated and elegant. These beautiful boxes are available in a variety of designs so that they can either represent the lost individual, or blend into the decor where they are to be kept. For example, if the individual was a patriot at heart and was well known for their love of the country, a military-themed memento box would be more than ideal to reflect their admirable personality. A scholar would perhaps be represented by a chest that simulated a stack of elegant hardbound books. If the box is to be displayed in a room that features a classic, elegant style, a old-world themed memento box would offer a beautiful touch to the setting. Regardless of design, these boxes feature a large compartment to store a number of different keepsakes, such as jewelry, letters, photos, coins, or anything else that is a meaningful remembrance of the individual. Some memento boxes can be personalized by displaying favorite photos in the built-in frames on the exterior. Some even have the option of a small size memento chest, which is still large enough to accommodate a standard funeral home cremation urn insert. Families can gather around and revisit the small tokens gathered throughout the person's life time, and even share them with future generations.

The memory of a lost individual will always be carried on in the hearts of their friends and family, but having a tangible part of the individuals life can certainly offer a truly remarkable experience. Many find great comfort during grief from going through the effects of the loved one because they can almost pick up and hold a small memory.
