Wearing a bereavement pin during the wake/visitation and funeral helps visitors identify the appropriate family members at a glance, people feel the value of attending and being able to express their condolences to the grieving family. The elegant pins, which also serve as treasured keepsakes, are offered in either black or white enamel in the shape of a cross or, as a non-denominational option, a circle. Both have a center image of a dove in flight and are presented on a card with the expressive poem, “It’s My Time,” by poet Jacky Newcomb. The bereavement pins have a butterfly clasp and are suitable to be worn on all clothing.
