Moments, days, months after the loss of a friend of family member you may find that for the lives that will forever grieve for the individual a keepsake is always a great gift to show that you care. Some choose to send flowers, others a personal item, if you choose to send a candle it is a sign that you are keeping the person that has been lost in mind. Most cultures signify lighting a candle as a direct connection to the soul. With this thought in mind, the choice in candles may overwhelm you. Don’t get caught up in the choices, keep the deceased and the living in mind.

If you choose a candle such vendors as 1800 flowers and Pro Flowers offer different scents and crystal frames to accompany the candle for the grieving. It is a great idea to select a candle that may offer the same scent as the deceased. If you are unable to find this scent, you may choose an individual candle for each person you are presenting them to and choose a sent that they may favor.

The grieving may use the candle for different uses. If you choose to purchase the candle with the keepsake crystal frame, you will find that they will use the frame for the purpose of holding the picture of the deceased and leave the candle unburned in remembrance. For either use, it is a great idea to offer the candle along with a personalized letter or card.
