welcome to eternal treasures
We are proud to showcase our unique sympathy and memorial gifts of comfort for that regrettable moment of loss and grief. These gifts are collectively an eternal treasure. They are designed to leave a lasting memory in your mind about that special someone. Give an eternal treasure to someone special who has suffered a loss, or to remember a special pet. Because these gifts are adaptable to suit many occasions and many individual needs, you can even keep them for yourself! We say this because a memorial gift will forever acknowledge that you are thinking of others in their moments of need. Whether it is for someone special who has suffered a loss, or simply to remember a special pet, a memorial gift holds such a sentimental value and a special memory about our dearly departed. The gift surely represents a symbol of the special place the loss holds in your heart. It is also a reflection of the beautiful and cherished moments of your experience with the dearly departed and a reminder of their ever-presence spirit.
A Memorial Gift is a perfect way to honour someone who has passed away and let the family know that you are thinking of them. It can be a very special memento to help a person cope with grief or just to let that person know you care. We will all suffer from one form of grief or another in our lives, and as we know, no words can make the sadness go away.
All we can do is hope to find comfort in suiting words of kindness and sympathy from people that care when we are most vulnerable. We also hope that you will find this site very useful in that trying moment when you don't know where else to turn to, or what else to say. Eternal Treasures is the place to look for an ideal memorial gift. The gifts here represent comfort and sympathy, conveying much more than just a message . They are a reminder of "What to send, when you don't know what to say." In a word, Eternal Treasures is the one place to find "What to send, when you don't know what to say".
At Eternal Treasures, we say all this because, we understand how difficult it can be to find a unique sympathy gift for someone who has experienced the loss of a loved one, or a pet. Words of sympathy do not come easily, and comforting sympathy gifts are difficult to find. With this in mind, we have carefully selected or custom-designed a meaningful collection of sympathy poems and cards, bereavement and condolence gift ideas, all in the hope of bringing comfort and remembrance to those who are grieving.

"What to Send, when you don't know what to Say"
Our story
In 2007, my husband had a phone call from a very dear family friend. Our friend was devastated and simply said, “My daughter has died.” It was heart-wrenching to hear these words. Since he has 3 daughters, it was unbearable that we had to ask him which one. However, the question was asked, and he told us it was his 7-year-old daughter, the youngest. He recounted she was fine that morning and went to school, but shortly afterwards came home sick with what they thought might be the flu. They took her to hospital, and 6 hours later she was gone from sickle cell anemia - unexpected and unannounced. In 2 weeks, she would have turned 8.
What do you do when something like this happens? We were unable to think of anyway to comfort the family, there is nothing anyone can do to take their pain and sorrow away. After a few weeks, it still played on my mind that this sweet little child was gone. As many times before, I sat down and wrote out a small verse that was playing in my head. I tend to express feelings in poems sometimes, and this has been the case when family members have passed away. These poems have been read at the funerals, or published with the obituaries. This time I put the poem together with some graphics and photos of our missing angel, framed and mailed it to our friends.
They were overwhelmed with emotion when they received it. To this day, they still hold onto it as a cherished piece of the memory of their daughter. Of course, nothing will replace her, but they have told me on numerous occasions, how much comfort they get from reading the verses of the poem framed with her photos. The poem has been of much comfort to them, because they know I wrote it “about” their child. It is hard to explain, but I wondered some years later, if things like this could be comforting to others who are experiencing tragedy or grief.

How do you get over grief? You can’t is the simple answer. It never really goes away, but we eventually learn how to live with it and cope with the loss. I know if we have something that symbolizes our lost loved ones, perhaps it will help to comfort us and keep a piece of their memory in our heart as an eternal treasure - something that represents a successful grief-coping channel.
I hope such a keepsake will give meaning to the experience of grieving - a meaning of long and cherished memories of your loss. I have found that in the grieving process, people can either outwardly show emotive responses to a loss (their eternal treasure) or keep it close to their heart through inward emotive expressions. Whatever is the case, some people are able to grieve for their losses both inwardly and outwardly. Others are not able to do so due perhaps to a certain cultural constraint in gender typification, which sees a display of emotions as a weakness in itself.
What is being said is that the social conditions of culture and gender-typing (which tells us that males and females are by nature different, and are therefore expected to behave differently) often impose on males the restriction of not showing their emotions at least in the open. Having been defined as such, some men have tended to act out this societal ascription in reality. In a sense, they feel uncomfortable showing emotions in moments of grief, believing they must remain strong for others. A net result is a grieving process inwardly expressed and bottled up without any memorial gift marker of remembrance for the loss. Eternal Treasures now offers a soothing venue equally for men, women, boys and girls not only to inwardly cope with their grief, but also to outwardly express their emotions.
Through the symbolic meaning of Eternal Treasures' gifts, we can all now grieve for our losses regardless of cultural constraints. These gifts have a way of etching in our hearts the good memories of our dearly departed, leaving us with a sense of their presence in the gifts of Eternal Treasures.
Eternal Treasures hope is that we are able to help you fill the void that a death may have caused.
