Memorial eggs are designed as a tribute to acknowledge the passing of a loved one. The egg, which is a symbol of life, recognizes that the passing is the beginning of a new life, in a new dimension.
Some choose to give this symbol of a new life rather than flowers as an expression of sympathy.
These are examples of how a Memorial egg, using an authentic egg shell, can look. In both of these samples, a silk print of the deceased was made using the obituary photo and then it was applied to the egg.
