Celebration of Life Memorial Balloons

A life well lived deserves to be celebrated. These are the balloons families bring to a celebration of life — heart-shaped, finished with angel wings, and carrying no date and no occasion on them, which is exactly why they work when the gathering is about the whole person rather than one particular day.

Bring them to a memorial service, a graveside gathering, a scattering, or a room full of people telling stories. The 17-inch hearts take air or helium and work indoors as a centerpiece. The 8-inch balloons on a stick need no helium at all — the stick presses into the ground so each one stands upright at the site and is still there on the next visit.

Alongside the Celebration of Life hearts, this collection gathers what families hand out at these gatherings: Rest In Paradise, Thinking of You, I Miss You and I Love You, plus Miss You Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa.

If several of you are coming, the Celebration of Life Memorial Set puts two 17-inch hearts and six stick balloons in one box — enough that nobody stands there with empty hands. Our guide to visiting as a family covers how many to bring.

Everything ships flat, two per pack, and inflates in about a minute. Orders ship within one business day from Sun Valley, California, free over $25. You may also want the full memorial balloon collection or balloons for an anniversary of their passing.
