A funeral home in Oliver, Canada, is giving toast to late loved ones by offering their clients bottles of wine with a custom inscription.
Funeral director Nolan Adam at Graham Funeral Home says that the idea came about after the death of his grandfather, an amateur winemaker whose wines were always shared with friends and family.
After his passing, a couple of bottles were left behind, so there was a period of time when the Adams family was able to commemorate their late grandpa by enjoying a glass of his one-of-a-kind wine.
“I don’t want anyone else to have that same problem as me – having the wine run out of stock,” he said.
A Toast To The Dead
Graham’s clients receive a bottle of Little Engine Wines, each featuring a personalized label inscribed in memory of the departed. Whether celebrating an anniversary, birthday, or Christmas, loved ones can uncork the bottle to honor and remember the cherished life that was lost, creating a meaningful and lasting tribute.
One bottle comes complimentary for each client and more wines can be ordered at an additional cost.
Graham’s partnership with Little Engine Wines stems from their shared emphasis on meticulous craftsmanship, as Adams highlighted, noting Little Engine’s attention to detail—from the careful wine-making process to the elegant presentation of each bottle, exemplified by the decorative cork. “We prioritize the finer details in our products, and Little Engine Wines embodies the same dedication to quality and craftsmanship,” Adams explained.
