A quiet light for someone you miss. We roll this white memorial candle by hand in our candle shop in Weidenberg. Its simple design leaves room for what matters most: the name and the words with which you wish to remember. The candle can accompany your memorial service and afterwards find a place for remembrance at home. Your personal dedication Whether a name, dates of birth and death, or “In love and gratitude”: we write your custom text by hand with a fine brush on the candle. For this, choose gold or silver. Enter the text exactly as you want it to appear, and check the names and dates before ordering. Base price: €40.00 without lettering. The custom lettering costs €0.20 per calculated character. Letters, numbers, and punctuation marks count; spaces are not calculated. Example price: “Mara Muster”, “* 01.01.1950”, “† 01.01.2020” and “In love and gratitude” result in a total of 53 calculated characters without spaces. The lettering costs €10.60. The total price is €50.60, plus shipping if applicable. Your actual price depends on your custom text. Each dedication is created individually by hand and is tailored to the candle. Therefore, we cannot show you its exact appearance in advance with any binding commitment. Our product images and the gallery of past works give you an idea of our handwriting.

The base price stated here applies to the white candle. If the candle is to be present at the memorial service Indicate the date when ordering. If time is short, please ask before purchase whether we can produce and deliver the candle in time. If it accompanies your farewell, it will become part of this shared moment of remembrance. Afterwards, you can relight it at home. Place the candle on a stable, fireproof candle holder and never leave it burning unattended. Protect the wax and lettering from direct sunlight and heat from radiators. Wishing you a quiet glow for your memories, your candle makers from the candle shop in Weidenberg.

A light for the farewell and for the memory that follows. This white memorial candle is rolled by hand in our candle workshop in Weidenberg. We decorate it with a tree of life featuring delicate leaves made of black wax. It represents roots, shared time, and the bond that remains. A mourning ribbon with lace and a bow complements the design. You decide how the candle shines: At a memorial service or a special moment, you can light the wick. For a light without an open flame, you can switch on the LED light permanently integrated into the base. In LED mode, the candle does not burn down and can continue to serve as a memorial light time and again. The LED light is powered by two small button cell batteries. Your personal inscription We write a name, dates, or a short farewell message by hand with a fine brush on the candle. You can choose black or silver. A short text leaves plenty of space for the tree of life; if you would like a longer dedication, we will consult with you to ensure there is enough clearly legible space.

Protect the wax, tree, and lettering from direct sunlight and heating warmth. Burn time: calculated up to approx. 95 hours with proper candle care. With this candle, burning must be stopped before the built-in LED insert; the actually usable burn time with a flame is therefore shorter. For a nursing home or hospital, please ask about the house rules for brought-in LED lights before setting it up. Keep button cell batteries out of reach of children and dispose of used batteries at a collection point. A quiet glow for your memories is wished for you by your candle makers from the candle workshop in Weidenberg.

Perhaps people who feel what you feel will give me to you. Perhaps you will choose me at the funeral home or have me personalized. I bear a name, a color, a symbol for a life that was so much more than can fit on me.
At the funeral service, I shine as a farewell. Afterwards, I come home with you. When it becomes quiet and the other is missing, I may be allowed a place by your side.
Light me when you want to tell stories, cry, or simply be. In my light, your memory may come alive. Everything that united you finds space here.
And when my wax is one day used up, a new light may be born. Just as you need it. Just as you wish to remember.
I am your memorial candle. For the farewell. For the memory. And for you, who live on.

When someone is missing, a light can give them a place – at the funeral service and later at home. In our Lichtermacherei in Weidenberg, we create personalized memorial candles, candle holders, and wax angels. We also design memorial lights with photos for beloved pets.
You will find simple white candles and lights with a sun, tree of life, dove, or dandelion with us. Many pieces are made individually by hand. We write names, dates, and short dedications on the wax with a fine brush. In this way, a light becomes a personal memory.
For selected candles, we can create a color gradient upon request based on your sample – for example, in the favorite colors of the person you wish to remember. The artistic work with wax colors comes from the Grundfarm Wachskunst: We add the colors to the still-hot wax. There, they flow freely into one another, almost like a watercolor painting. Every gradient turns out differently and makes your candle unique.
Send us before ordering a photo or color sample if you want specific colors. We will discuss what is possible with you and agree on the price and production time.
Our own wax creations have their own special shape, color, and decoration. In addition, we also enhance classic German quality candles made from RAL-certified blanks. Their uniform shape closely resembles the sample image. For both types, we carefully design the motif and personal lettering by hand.
You can light a memorial candle. With a candle holder, a tealight or LED light shines inside, while the outer wax shell is preserved. Which light source is included and how much custom lettering costs is stated with the respective item.
Our memorial angels also find a place in a palliative care unit in Bayreuth. Such quiet moments show us how important a carefully crafted light can be.
Should your light be present at the funeral service? Please state the date when ordering. If time is short, please ask before purchasing whether we can produce and deliver it in time. After the farewell, your light can find a place for memories at home.
