Questions, answered

How long does it take to design?
About five minutes. Say who it’s for, pick or write the words, add anything optional — a message, a date, a photo — then choose the font. You see the finished label on the candle the whole time.
Can I put a photo on the candle?
Yes. Choose a photo label and upload your picture — it fills the label, and you can pair it with a date. A text label can carry a message and a symbol instead.
Will I see the design before it’s printed?
Yes — the live preview on this page is exactly what gets printed, so you can see the finished label before you order.
What can I personalize on the label?
The main line in your own words, an optional message, a date, and a symbol for both text and photo labels.

Personalized Memorial Candles

Every Afterlights memorial candle is personalized with your loved one’s name, turning a simple flame into a lasting tribute. Whether you’re looking for a custom memorial candle for the loss of a dad, a personalized candle to remember a mom, or a memorial candle gift for a grandparent, each one is made to carry their name and their memory. Add a name, a date, or a few words — and create a memorial candle that’s truly theirs.

A Sympathy Gift That Lasts

A memorial candle is a quiet, meaningful way to say what words can’t. Many people choose ours as a sympathy gift for a friend who lost a parent, a remembrance candle for a death anniversary, or a thoughtful gift for someone who is grieving. When flowers feel temporary, a personalized candle offers something that lasts — a small light to return to on hard days, birthdays, and anniversaries.

In Loving Memory

Afterlights makes memorial candles for loved ones who have passed — in loving memory of the people we carry with us. From in-memoriam candles and bereavement candles to candles for a funeral or memorial service, each is designed to honor a life and offer comfort to those left behind. Light one in memory of someone in heaven, and let their flame burn for everyone who still loves them.
