Memorial Portrait Solar Lantern

Upload one clear photo of someone you love and we render it into a softly glowing portrait in a stained glass style, set into a cylindrical wrap-around solar lantern. It charges in daylight and turns itself on at dusk, so their face lights up in the garden every evening — no switch, no cord. Some keep it in a quiet corner of the garden in loving memory; others send it to a grieving family in place of flowers. You see an exact preview before we make it, so it looks just like them.

A cylindrical solar garden lantern, available in two sizes (9.25 in / 23.5 cm or 6.9 in / 17.5 cm tall), personalized with a photo of your loved one. A wrap-around polycarbonate shade carries the design across four sides: their portrait rendered in a Tiffany-inspired, stained-glass style, a side with their name, their birth and passing years, and a short line of remembrance you choose, and coordinating florals around the rest. The shade sits in a cylindrical metal body with a brushed antique-copper finish, a half-round carry handle, and a round solar disc on top. At dusk the built-in light makes the whole lantern glow from within, like a small stained glass window standing in your garden.

1. Upload a photo of your loved one — one clear, well-lit photo of the face works best.
2. Add their name and years, and choose a line of remembrance — such as "When You Miss Me, Light This Up and Know I'm Here," "Forever in Our Hearts," or "Until We Meet Again" — or write your own.
3. See the exact preview on screen before you check out. We make it to match the preview you approve — nothing is printed until you are happy with it.

• Shade: one continuous wrap-around translucent, weatherproof polycarbonate shade that carries the portrait across four sides in a glowing, stained-glass-style color — bright as artwork by day, lit from within at dusk.
• Body: a cylindrical metal lantern with a brushed antique-copper (oil-rubbed bronze) finish, a top cap, base ring, and a half-round carry handle.
• Top: round solar disc that charges the built-in rechargeable battery — no wiring, nothing to plug in.
• Weather rating: IP65 — rain, sprinklers, and dust are fine; a small drain hole in the base lets water escape.

• An in-loving-memory keepsake — placed in a remembrance corner of the garden, by the door, or at a graveside
• A sympathy gift in place of flowers, shipped straight to a grieving family — for when words aren't enough
• A remembrance for a loved one's birthday or a quiet anniversary — a light to turn to on the days you miss them most
• A warm glow through the first holiday season without them, or a Christmas remembrance
• A glowing photo for a Día de los Muertos ofrenda
• A lasting tribute for a mother, father, grandparent, spouse, or anyone dearly missed

Wipe the shade with a soft damp cloth; no polish needed. Keep the top solar disc clean and give it several hours of direct sun for the brightest glow. This is a soft remembrance and accent light — a gentle evening glow rather than a bright path or flood light. It can stay out year-round in rain (IP65), though a sheltered spot during hail or a hard freeze will lengthen the life of any solar light.

Made to order in 2–3 days. Estimated delivery about 1.5–2.5 weeks in total — we can't guarantee exact dates, and you'll get tracking as soon as it ships. Free U.S. shipping.

We design the artwork and assemble each lantern ourselves rather than reselling a catalog product. The same studio makes our stained-glass-style suncatchers, and one rule applies to everything we ship: if it arrives less than perfect, we make it right.
