"Dana has created a special way to preserve some of the beautiful flowers from bouquets of joyous occasions and also memorial floral displays. As the recipient of her candles made from memorial flowers, they are a loving keepsake.
I recently had Dana make a candle for a dear friend and I was just amazed at how every detail of the different flowers showed in the candle. Just a unique gift to receive or give."

I can’t say enough about the beautiful candles that were made by Coastal Giving in memory of my mother. We had eight made, one for each of my siblings. We each took flowers from our funeral pieces and left them in the hands of Dana. She paid special attention to our personal requests, such as I wanted to make sure I had a pink rose in mine for this is a special family flower. I love that these candles will last forever! I keep my candle next to my mother’s picture and have it illuminated at all our special occasions. The candles mean so much to my family and we were so impressed with how perfect they all turned out. Thank you Dana for your caring, heartfelt and amazing work! I get a lot of compliments on my candle and I would highly recommend you to all my friends!

Love my candle I received from Dana. She did a wonderful job with the flowers from my mother’s funeral. I was impressed with how clear I can see the flowers. The candle means a lot and I appreciate the hard work that goes into making your finished product. 5 stars!

"I live on Cape Cod, born and raised going back 12 generations. I love my Cape Cod Nautical Chart candle by Coastal Giving! Dana's talent and attention to detail is beautifully displayed with precision in this unique one of a kind keepsake. It makes a great gift and the possibilities are endless!" -Kelli S.J. |
"Coastal Giving can take flowers from any occasion whether happy or sad such as a wedding, funeral, etc. and turn them into a beautiful candle that will be a treasured keepsake. Flowers were collected from my husband's funeral and put into a candle that I will cherish forever.
I guess it goes along with the phrase "beauty from ashes" because something that represented sadness and heartache was made into something beautiful that can be cherished."

"I have had Dana make me multiple candles for 2 occasions. My sister and I had her make candles from my mothers funeral flowers 6 years ago and they came out so beautiful and they have lasted wonderfully! They haven’t faded, the wax is in great condition I couldn’t be happier! So when I had the unfortunate occasion to need her again for the passing of my sister she made more beautiful candles I have hers displayed as a centerpiece on my dining room table. I had others made for her best friend and her partner. They make wonderful keepsake pieces. Dana makes each candle with tender love and care and each candle shows it."

"Losing my Dad is the hardest thing I have ever gone through. Aside from feeling the loss on the deepest emotional level possible, you have this thing where you want to hold on tightly to everything that has to do with your loved one, as if it will keep their presence around you.
My Dads services brought close to 400 people to pay their respects, and to share warm memories of my Dad with myself and my family. The outpouring of love was beautiful, the stories, the laughter, the tears- incredible. It was exactly how he would have wanted to be remembered, with tons of love and laughs. As the services came to an end, I remember the feeling of wanting to save every bouquet, and arrangement that was sent to us, I wanted to stop and smell every flower. Every stem and every blossom represented a memory or a story that had been shared with me that day and I just had this overwhelming urge that I wanted to keep them all. I did not want to forget those stories and memories that they each represented to me.
Thankfully I had contacted Coastal Giving for a keepsake candle, I handpicked beautiful flowers that stood out to me when I looked at the arrangements, and when I received my candle, I knew I picked the right ones. These one of a kind candles TRULY keep those stories and memories that were shared with me, alive. I look at my candle and I am taken back to the day that almost 400 people came to mourn the loss of the greatest man I have ever known, my Dad, and I smile, remembering the things those people told me, and the laughs we had, and I know I made the right choice when I chose Coastal Giving. Thank you Dana!"
