An Unforgettable Gift this Christmas

Dec. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- A Giving Tribute www.agivingtribute.com is a website which helps people to capture memories of loved ones that are no longer with us. They turn special reminiscences into a ‘memory book’ full of photos and Tribute cards which capture special thoughts of the person by their family and friends.  

Founder of A Giving Tribute, Liz Mowatt says: “Some children will never have the chance to meet their grandparents, and families often have no more than a few fading photos of close family ancestors. A ‘memory book’ is the perfect way for someone to find out more about their relatives through the eyes of people who knew them when they were alive.”

Josh Wood, 22, who lost his mother in May 2012, has a book filled with memories of her created by a range of people, from close family to her old school friends. He says: “My children will never meet my Mum, but the Tributes capture the uniqueness and essence of her over the years - and all the different hairstyles and questionable fashions! - it’s a lovely record of her life and brings me great comfort.

“A Tribute Card is a great idea for a Christmas present. Looking at photos and sharing happy memories, whether of someone you have lost recently, or a relative you never had the chance to meet, is a gift which will last a lifetime.”

To gather together memories and photos of your special relative, why not ask their old friends, neighbours and relatives to buy a Tribute Card for just £4.75, including postage. They can write their own personal recollection with a photograph for you to treasure and ensure your loved one will always be remembered.

Each Tribute Card can be created easily on A Giving Tribute’s website www.agivingtribute.com and sent in the post to a nominated address.  Alternatively, if someone would like to give a completed ‘memory’ book as a gift or a family would like to buy their own book to keep their memories in, it costs £35.00, postage free.

Notes to Editors

·         A Giving Tribute – For Lasting Memories provides Tribute Cards to celebrate life.  These may be created in memory at any point so that every family may have a ‘memory’ book to treasure.

·         Alternatively the Company operate a service whereby Tribute Cards may be displayed at the funeral in a unique display stand called a ‘Tribleau’ – providing a meaningful alternative to flowers.  The Tribleaus can be taken on to the wake and afterwards the Tribute Cards kept in the Commemorative ‘memory’ Book.  A Funeral Tribute Card costs £14.95, which includes the display Tribleau and courier delivery to the funeral director.

·         Tribute Cards may also be created and sent as a more personal alternative to a sympathy card.

·         A Giving Tribute was developed by Surrey based Liz Mowatt to solve the problem of nothing to see at the funeral along with the need for life to be celebrated and recorded for future generations.
