A framed memorial portrait gives everyone a place to focus. At Chapel of the Chimes, we prepare a finished portrait in a frame chosen to suit the setting, whether it stands at the front of the chapel or finds a place in your home afterward. We coordinate the framing and the display so the photo is ready when you need it, presented with the dignity it deserves. If the image itself still needs to be enlarged or restored first, our team can help with that.
Every framed portrait we prepare follows the same guided path, from the photo you share to the moment it comes home with you. Here is what happens, step by step, and where your family fits in.
Share the photo you would like to use for the portrait. If it needs enlarging or touching up first, we will point you to the right next step before framing begins.
Together, we choose the frame, the size and how the portrait will be shown. Frames range from tabletop pieces to larger displays, in finishes and materials chosen to suit your taste. We’ll also help you weigh matting and proportions.
We prepare the finished portrait and have it ready when you need it, so there is one less detail for your family to manage during a difficult week.
During the service, the portrait often stands at the front of the chapel or beside the guest book, giving everyone gathered a clear focal point. We position it so it reads beautifully from every seat.
After the service, the portrait comes home with you. Families often choose a frame that fits a mantel, an entry or a quiet corner, so a loved one stays part of daily life.
One team at Chapel of the Chimes coordinates your framed portrait alongside every other detail of the service, so your family is never left managing a separate vendor during a difficult week.
