Keeping a Loved One Close

In the days after a loss, families often look for something they can hold. A woven photo blanket memorial answers that need. We take one or more photographs you love, and weave them into a soft blanket made to last for years. At Chapel of the Chimes in Oakland, one team helps you choose the images and the design. We coordinate it alongside the rest of the arrangements. Choosing a woven photo blanket is straightforward. Here are the personalization options, how the blanket is made and what your family can expect along the way.

— How We Walk With You

Designing Your Memorial Photo Blanket

Every woven photo blanket memorial begins with a photograph your family treasures. From there, you choose the personalization options, and we coordinate the ordering process so the finished blanket arrives ready to keep or pass down through your family.

Photographs Woven into Cloth

A woven photo blanket memorial is made by weaving the photograph into the fabric itself, not printing it on the surface. The result is a soft, durable blanket where the image is part of the cloth, made to be held and kept.

Choosing the Photographs

You can either choose a single photograph for the blanket or design a collage. Our Oakland team helps you choose images that will display clearly, and we guide you if a favorite photo needs a little care first.

Sizes and Everyday Comfort

A photo memorial blanket is meant to be lived with. Some families drape it over a favorite chair, some keep it displayed. Many simply hold it close. Ask our team about the available sizes and we’ll help you make the right choice.

Personalized Detail

Besides photographs, a custom funeral keepsake blanket can display a name, dates or a few meaningful words. Together, these choices create a personalized memorial blanket that is uniquely yours, made from the photograph and details your family selects.

One Location, Handled with Care

Your woven photo blanket is ordered through our Oakland team coordinating your funeral or memorial service, so you have one point of contact from beginning to end. We handle the ordering and keep you informed, making the process as straightforward as possible.
