This in memory of dad shirt is a personalized custom memorial tee built around his picture: IN LOVING MEMORY in white across the top, his photo in black and white at the center, and his full name in tall antique gold capitals with his years below.
It comes as a tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie, with youth and toddler sizes, so the whole family can wear one to the service.
What’s printed on Dad’s memorial shirt?
Our sample uses a bearded man in a ball cap and fishing vest, rod in hand, standing at the edge of a mountain lake. DAVID CARTER sits under the photo in gold, and 1962 – 2027 follows in spaced white numerals.
Your order carries your dad’s own picture, name and dates in the same quiet layout. A photo of him doing the thing he loved, at the lake, behind the grill or at his workbench, tends to feel the most like him.
Ordering his memorial shirt with photo
- Pick a garment and size for everyone in Dad’s family.
- Choose shirt colors. White and gold read clearly on most shades.
- Upload his photo. Face clear, not too small in the frame.
- Type his name and years. Exactly as they should print.
- Check out. Example: Thomas Reyes, 1955 – 2027. The fishing photo in the sample becomes your picture of Thomas, with his name in gold and his years in white.
A memorial shirt that shows Dad as he really was
- Funeral programs show one stiff photo that doesn’t look like him
- Sympathy flowers fill the house for a week, then they’re gone
- Relatives want to honor him but don’t know what to bring
People often find it easier to talk about someone when his picture is right there with them. IN LOVING MEMORY in white across the top, his photo in black and white at the center, then his full name in tall antique gold capitals with his years below.
An in memory of Dad shirt for the people who loved him
Usually it’s one of his grown kids, ordering shirts for the family a few days before the service. They want everyone who walks in to see Dad as he was, at the lake or behind the grill, not in a formal portrait.
Each of you wears the same photo of him, so the family stands together at the funeral or celebration of life.
A crewneck in her favorite color keeps his picture close at night without asking her to talk about it.
If he was the big brother who taught them to fish, a photo from the lake fits better than any card.
Sending the family shirts with his name and years lets them know he mattered at work too.
Flowers fade within the week, while a shirt with his photo is there whenever his kids want him near.
A memorial shirt for dad can come out each year on his birthday, at his favorite diner or out on the dock where he fished.

Timing when a service is coming up
Production is 1 to 3 business days in the USA, and USPS shipping adds 3 to 5 business days with tracking, so please allow about 4 to 8 business days altogether. We can’t guarantee a delivery date, so order as soon as the photo is chosen. Our shipping information covers the details.
Can every family member get the same shirt of Dad?
Yes. Add each person’s garment, size and color to the cart and upload the same photo of him on each one, with identical name and years.
Can his name be a nickname like Pops?
Of course. The gold line prints whatever you type, so Pops, Big Mike or his full legal name are all fine.
The best photo has him standing next to a famous athlete. Can we use it?
We’re sorry, but no. Dad’s shirt can’t include celebrities, athletes, rappers or other public figures, and we can’t print logos, brand names, team marks or cartoon characters. Please upload a photo your family owns; orders with that material are canceled and refunded.
More remembrance designs are in our memorial shirts, and ideas for families are collected in the memorial gift guide.
