Custom memory bear made from your loved one's shirt, funeral bear, keepsake, memorial retailer bear

Memory Bears are created from one of your loved one's shirts. Each bear is as unique as the person they memorialize.

My husband recently passed away. I wanted to create something my grandson could hold in his arms that would remind him of his Grandpa Ryan. I took one of his soft, long sleeved, dress shirts and created this memory bear (the gray one in the pictures). It was perfect! I didn't have to give his clothes away to a stranger, every time I see the bear, it makes me smile just a little, and my grandson can still "hug" his Grandpa.

The body of your custom bear would be made from the shirt you choose to send me. I would then use a coordinating print for the contrast parts (or you could send another coordinating shirt). I consider it an honor to make your memory bear and I promise to have the utmost respect for the garments you send. Any remaining scrapes will be disposed of in a respectful manner.

Because of their custom nature, the size of the bears varies but are approximately 14-18 inches tall.

Notes:
--mid weight shirts work best (light material must be backed and make for a stiffer bear)
--cotton dress shirt work best (like a button up shirt)
--not recommended for silky materials
--NOT MEANT FOR USE AS A TOY bears are to be gently loved!
--eyes/buttons/ribbon not intended for small children they are a choking hazard
--A patch can be added with a name and/or date on the back retailer of the bear (custom patches will make your order take longer)
--you pay shipping of shirt to me, return shipping of finished bear is FREE in United States
--Bears take 3-4 weeks from the time I receive your shirt
