One photograph may become the image everyone remembers from the service. A memorial portrait is a professionally enlarged print displayed during the funeral or memorial, welcoming guests and celebrating the life being honored. Even if the original is an older print or a small snapshot, it can often be restored, retouched and enlarged into a beautiful portrait. Our team helps you choose the right photograph, prepare it for printing and have it ready for the day of the service, all in one place.
The portrait begins with one photograph that’s meaningful to your family. From there, our Oakland team handles the rest. We prepare, enlarge and display it so your loved one’s face is present in the room exactly as you remember it.
Many treasured photographs are old, faded or creased. Before we enlarge anything, our team restores and retouches the image, repairs damage and refreshes the color, so a decades-old photo looks its best.
Once the image is ready, we handle the funeral photo enlargement, printing it at portrait size on quality materials made for display. A memorial photo enlargement in Oakland keeps the face sharp and true even at a larger scale.
We arrange the funeral picture display for East Bay families, presenting the portrait on an easel in our chapel. You decide where it sits, and we make sure it anchors the room with dignity throughout the service.
If you’re unsure which photograph to use, our team helps you choose. A favorite snapshot, a formal portrait or a phone image can all become a memorial portrait East Bay families are proud to display, and we’ll guide the decision with you.
Your loved one’s portrait is prepared and displayed by the same team handling the rest of the service, so nothing is left for the family to coordinate elsewhere. At our Oakland chapel, every detail is part of one tribute, designed with intention.
