Memorial Portrait
Before / After
Far from being just a simple visual, the memorial portrait becomes a touchstone of remembrance—a symbolic presence at the heart of the tribute. With meticulous artistic treatment, it dignifiedly embodies the spirit of the departed. It gives families a tangible way to remember while deepening the moment of reflection.
A deeply human visual tribute
When a family is going through a time of grief, they often look for soothing points of reference. That’s why a well-crafted memorial portrait can play an essential role. It not only helps loved ones remember, but also offers one last beautiful, serene image of the person. Through this portrait, emotions take shape and gently support loved ones through their mourning process.
Expertise rooted in tradition and innovation
For several years, Collection-Souvenir has supported funeral professionals with rigor and passion. With a presence in key cities such as Montréal, Québec City, and Toronto, the company ensures exceptional responsiveness. It has successfully blended artisanal tradition with technological innovation to deliver service of impeccable quality.
A service that combines simplicity and efficiency
In practical terms, simply send us a digital photo of the deceased. As soon as we receive it, our graphic artists take over.

Three styles to honor every personality
Because every human being is unique, we offer three visual styles to suit all sensibilities:
- Classic for a sober, respectful touch
- Elegance for a soft, refined finish
- Contemporary for a modern, understated expression
With these options, funeral homes can offer a tailored tribute perfectly in tune with the ceremony’s ambiance.
Formats designed to showcase the image
We offer two standard sizes: 10 × 15 inches and 8 × 10 inches. These dimensions are chosen not only for readability, but also for compatibility with most funeral display spaces. They draw the eye while preserving the venue’s sense of restraint.
Coordinated frames for a harmonious presentation
In addition to the portrait, we provide frames coordinated to each style. With these options, families receive a complete, ready-to-display product the moment it arrives. This simplifies organization for funeral homes while enhancing the perceived value of the service.
Flexible ordering for total convenience
Because every professional has their own habits, we accept orders by phone, email, online, or even by fax. Whatever the method, our team is available to provide smooth, personalized support.
A trial/consignment model built for real life
We understand that a product like this can stir mixed emotions. That’s why we’ve set up a no-obligation trial system. The funeral home can present the portrait during the ceremony, and the family can then decide whether they wish to keep it. If not, simply return it.
A reassuring, low-pressure system for families
This trial model allows families to move at their own pace. They can see, feel, and then decide. At the same time, it removes any stress for establishments, which take on no financial risk when offering the product.
Portraits crafted to stand the test of time
Each memorial portrait is printed on premium materials resistant to light and humidity. Families can therefore keep this keepsake for years without it losing its beauty. In short, it’s a tribute designed to span generations.
Graphic artistry in the service of emotion
Our graphic artists don’t just retouch an image. They translate an emotion, a memory, a presence. They adjust lighting, correct imperfections, and soften colors—always respecting the personality of the deceased. Thanks to their know-how, every portrait becomes a sincere and aesthetic homage.
Why do funeral homes trust us?
- Support for reflection: the portrait becomes an emotional anchor during the ceremony.
- Consistent professional quality: regardless of volume, every piece is crafted with the same high standards.
- Optimized process: easy ordering, fast delivery, meticulous follow-up.
- Zero financial risk: with the consignment system, there’s no pressure and no obligation.
Families supported with tact and respect
Many funeral directors report high client satisfaction. In their view, the memorial portrait acts as a source of calm. It often sparks conversation, rekindles positive memories, or simply offers a moment of serenity to the family.
One portrait, one story, an indelible bond
When someone passes away, they leave behind a rich story—made of smiles, glances, gestures. The portrait captures a part of that story. It does not erase the absence, of course, but it makes visible what remains invisible: love, memory, and attachment.

No problem: thanks to the consignment option, it can be returned with no fees and no obligation.
