Photo albums as books of condolence or picture frames as condolence gifts, which are designed by yourself, convey appreciation for the deceased person. Especially in the case of bereavement, it is important to stand by those affected during this difficult time - whether in person or with a gift as condolences.  There are a variety of mourning gifts or memorial gifts that make the feeling of loneliness disappear and comfort the relatives. Therefore, sayings and comforting quotes find their place in the book of condolence or as glass prints on the mourning frame. For this reason, we have many personal gift ideas for condolence that will make your condolences something special, as you can configure it according to your wishes and ideas.

With a personalized condolence book and condolence album, you will not only create a beautiful memory of the special features of the deceased, but will also help with grief when you reminisce about the most beautiful moments together with the bereaved. The funeral service is therefore the ideal occasion to record and perpetuate the special sympathy of friends, family and acquaintances with a self-designed book of condolence. That's exactly when you have the opportunity to revive old stories in a personalized photo album for the bereavement and create an honorable memory of the deceased. Whether small anecdotes of shared experiences, your own poems or the kind words of friends, families and acquaintances. And don't worry, our photo albums are made of a textured paper, which means that the loving words and farewell quotes cannot be blurred. Because apart from a warm-hearted hug, especially in the current situation, words in particular are very comforting. However, not everyone has room to express condolences in person. Instead, one would rather write down the mourning words in the event of a death in a mourning album or condolence book. And this works particularly well when the gift ideas for condolences are individually designed to create a very personal souvenir.

With a condolence book or guestbook, the motto is: less is more. It is important not to fill the wrapper too colorful and overloaded. Instead, covers in a simple design are suitable. Black, gray or white are very popular. One of them is our photo albums BLACK & WHITE, which offer you an unforgettable personalization with name and date by embossing in gold and silver as well as space for a small picture. If you like it more colorful, choose a colorful alternative.

A book with a leather cover is also very suitable as a high-quality condolence gift. You  can optionally personalize our Madrid leather album with laser engraving, embossing or printing. The book-bound album made of leather with raised frets and handmade edge is further refined by a circumferential topstitching. In the format 32x32 cm and 80 cream-coloured pages made of handmade paper with glassine protection pages, there is plenty of space for personal dedications and personal photos. It is additionally delivered in a gift box. A luxurious gift par excellence.

Picture frames for mourning, which is above all personalized, are personal gifts that will remain in your memory for a long time. They represent an image of the deceased and at the same time loved person. Of course, this should be an eye-catcher and a nice souvenir for all mourners at home. To ensure that you succeed in this, there is something to consider when designing, the motto is: less is more. Especially through the minimalist refinement of a frame, you provide an elegant "look" that is very nice to look at. Frames in the color black, silver or gold are often chosen.

To turn a picture frame into an unforgettable memento of condolences, you can, for example, have the name and date of birth as well as the date of death individually engraved on the frame bar. If you prefer to make the whole thing more personal, you have the option of placing a funeral saying or a beautiful quote directly below or above the strips with the help of UV digital printing. Small symbols and motifs, such as a minimalist cross or praying hands, are also possible.

When choosing a picture frame for condolences, we rely on high-quality and simple portrait frames made of aluminium and metal, which offer you the option of providing a UV digital print on the glass or with an engraving  on the Aluline aluminium frame on the strip. To ensure that the picture frame does not look too cluttered, a passe-partout made of high-quality paper is the better choice for an addition - especially if you are considering having a black mourning border, a quote or funeral message lasered onto the glass. This not only creates more space for possible personalization, but it also puts more focus on the portrait of the deceased. Many of our picture frames are already equipped with passe-partouts – just take a look at the description.
