Smiles in Their Memory
Handmade ceramic Smiles to share, keep, and give in honor of someone you love.
There's no right way to grieve, and there are rarely the right words. Sometimes a small thing you can hold says what words can't. Families use Smiles to celebrate a life, comfort each other, and keep a loved one's kindness moving through the world.
Take your time. When you're ready, choose an option below or talk with a real person. We're glad to help.
Something for every guest to take home
Set out a bowl of Smiles by the guest book or tuck one into each program. Everyone leaves with a small, happy reminder of the person you're celebrating.
Circle of Remembrance – Celebration of Life Pack
Enough for a full service. Guests take one as they leave, a little piece of peace to carry with them.
The Big Ripple
Just right for a family gathering, a graveside service, or the meal after the funeral. Order more than one for a larger group.
Keepsakes for the people who loved them most
For a spouse, a child, a best friend. Something to set on a nightstand, hold on a hard day, or carry everywhere.
Angel Smile
A small, sweet reminder that they're still watching over you.
Large Angel Smile
A bigger keepsake with a silver halo and a wide grin. Made to be seen and remembered.
Love Heart
Write their name, a date, or a few words on the back. Small enough for a pocket or purse.
For the heavy days
When you don't know what to say to someone who's hurting, a Smile can say it for you: I'm thinking of you, and you're not alone.
Do something kind, the way they would have
Give a Smile to a cashier, a neighbor, a stranger having a rough day. Each one keeps their spirit moving through the world.
Pocketful of Smiles
Keep it in a purse or car and give one away whenever the moment feels right.
Bundle of Joy
Pick their favorite color. Give a few, keep a few. A nice set to split among grandkids or siblings.
Circle of Kindness Gift Set
Keep one for yourself and pass the rest along, starting a circle of kindness in their honor.
For the people who showed up
The hospice nurse. The neighbor who brought dinner. The friend who sat with you. A Smile is a warm, simple way to say thank you.
Gratitude & Thank You Bundle
Slip one into each thank-you note, or drop a few off for the care team. Order one bundle per group you'd like to thank.
People families often thank
Hospice and hospital nurses · Caregivers and aides · Pallbearers · Clergy and officiants · Neighbors and church friends · Funeral home staff · Coworkers who covered for you · Anyone who brought a meal
Ways families share Smiles
A bowl by the guest book
Add a small sign and guests take one on their way out.
Tucked into programs
Slip one into each memorial folder or prayer card envelope.
Placed at the graveside
Family members each leave a Smile, and take one home.
Their favorite color
Choose Smiles in the color they loved most. It becomes their color.
For the grandkids
Something small hands can hold onto, at the service and for years after.
Mailed to those far away
Send one with a note to friends and family who couldn't be there.
"Please take a Smile in loving memory of ____. Keep it, or pass it on to someone who needs one."
"____ never met a stranger. Share this Smile with someone today, the way they would have."
"Gone from our sight, never from our hearts. Carry this Smile and remember them with joy."
