Let’s get this out the way: if someone you love passed away, and your first move was to hit up your cousin with a Cricut and an inkjet printer, you already messed up.
And I don’t say that to disrespect anybody hustling from home — I say that because you deserve better.
Your loved one deserved better.
This ain’t just another T-shirt.
It’s not merch.
It’s not a promo item.
It’s a damn tribute — one of the only physical things some people will have left to hold on to.
So why are you cutting corners on something that’s supposed to be sacred?
The Problem with Cheap Memorial Shirts (That Nobody Talks About)
You’ve seen it before:
-
Blurry photos stretched out like Play-Doh
-
White tees so thin you can see straight through ’em
-
Designs that peel off after one wash like a sticker from Dollar Tree
And the worst part?
Nobody says anything. Because it’s a sensitive time. Everyone’s grieving. Nobody wants to complain.
But deep down?
That shirt don’t feel right.
You know it.
I know it.
Your auntie with the glossy “Wings of Heaven” graphic knows it too.
What a Memorial Shirt Should Be
-
Clear. Respectful. Beautiful.
High-res photos. Clean layout. A shirt that honors the person, not just markets them like a cheap mixtape. -
Soft. Durable. Sublimated.
I use sublimation — not vinyl, not iron-ons. The design is infused into the fabric, not slapped on top like a cheap sticker. It’ll outlast every other shirt in your drawer. Guaranteed. -
Accurate. Every Time.
This is the LAST place we can mess up. Dates, names, nicknames — I double and triple check everything with you. It’s not just a job, it’s respect.
Why People Come to Me (After the Cricut Fails)
I’ve done thousands of memorial shirts. I never wanted that to be my bread and butter, but I understand the assignment.
This is Lorain.
Things happen fast, and sometimes violently.
People pass, and families get caught off guard.
What do they want?
-
Shirts by tomorrow.
-
Big pictures.
-
Affordable options.
-
Someone who gets it and doesn’t treat this like a quick cash grab.
I’m that person.
Not because I’m chasing clout.
Because no one else around here is doing it right. And if I gotta be the one who takes it seriously, I will.
And Yes, I Still Keep It Affordable
I get it — not everyone has money when they lose someone. That’s why I never price-gouge.
But also? I’m not gonna pretend I can do it for $5 and a bottle of pop.
You’re not just paying for the shirt.
You’re paying for:
-
My time
-
My gear
-
My two decades of design experience
-
My attention to detail
-
The fact that I give a damn
