Creating a memorial piece is a great way to honor a departed loved one. First, choose the style of memorial that best suits your preferences.  Once you have chosen the style, you can then select a wood stain color or pattern from the palette options that best reflects your feelings. Consider the colors or items that they liked in life, or maybe one that speaks to you and your memories. With the right memorial, you can create a meaningful and lasting tribute to the one you have lost.
