Memorial Car Decal Ideas

Here are some memorial decal ideas that beautifully capture the departed soul’s essence. You can design a heartfelt tribute that reflects their personality and your cherished memories using permanent craft adhesive vinyl available in a variety of colors and finishes.

In Loving Memory Car Decal

Place the text ‘In Love Memory of’ with the name of the deceased on your car. You can place angel wings, a halo, and the date of demise with it to state that the person is in a better place now or was the most caring and loved when alive. You can use colors from the Matte and Glossy Vinyl collection to make it vibrant and eye-catching.

Forever In Our Heart

Our loved ones may not be with us physically, but their memory stays forever sealed in our hearts. This decal is a meaningful way to remember them. You can personalize it by adding the name of your deceased with the caption in a beautiful script-style font. You can add a floral design with it to symbolize the beauty and purity of their soul. Design this car decal with Colorful Pearl Adhesive Vinyl.

Your Wings Were Ready But Our Hearts Were Not

This is the perfect memorial decal for your car window that reveals the depth of how much you miss someone who is no longer with you. Pair these heartfelt words with silhouettes of small birds flying away into eternity. You can make it with Matte Vinyl in a bright color that is visible on the glass.

Personalized Lines For Memorial Decal

You can add a small personalized message for your custom memorial sticker for cars. How about ‘A Big Piece of My Heart Lives in Heaven’; ‘’My Mind Still Talks to You, My Heart Misses You, But My Soul Knows You Are in Heaven’; ‘Half of My Heart Is In Heaven With My Angel,’ and so on? Add flowers or a heart design to these. Make the decal eye-catching with Holographic Rainbow Adhesive Vinyl.

Symbols Of Passion

You might want to apply icons like a guitar, fishing rod, or sports gear that reflect the passions and hobbies of your beloved deceased. Add their name and date of death to the decal. You can put these within a wreath pattern for a cohesive look. We suggest using Metallic Satin Chrome Vinyl for this and applying it to the rear window of your car so that it immediately grabs attention on the road.

Poetic Memorial Car Decal

Add a small poem or just a stanza to pay tribute to the departed soul, for example, ‘Remembering you is easy; I do it every day; Missing you is the heartache; that never goes away.’ Lines such as these will perfectly express your feelings. Pair these with a meaningful design and apply the decal to the back windshield of your car. You can use a combination of Dusty Matte and 001G Glossy Vinyl for this.

Favorite Quote

Another memorial vehicle decal idea is to apply the favorite quote of the deceased on your car. These words could be something they often said, a line from their favorite book or movie, or even an inspiring phrase they lived by. Use bold lettering for this in striking colors to make it instantly noticeable.

Butterflies Flying Towards Heaven

You can design a decal with a piece of heart flying towards heaven as little butterflies. Show a cluster of butterflies starting from the lower corner and rising diagonally upward. Place larger ones at the base and smaller ones at the top to give the impression that they are going far away. Beside it, you can write a quote such as ‘Your Spirit Soars Free.’ You can also add the name of the deceased and the date. This decal can also be made with a beautiful flower such as a daisy or sunflower.

Starburst Or Shooting Star Design

The starburst or shooting star memorial decal presents the idea that the loved one's life was a shining moment in the universe, leaving a lasting impact even after they have left. You can feature a single, prominent star or a trail of a shooting star, symbolizing a bright soul that continues to shine in memory. You can also add a heartfelt message like 'A Star That Always Shines' with the name of the deceased with this decal. You can use Shimmer and Glitter Craft Vinyl for this

Pet Memorial Decal For Car

If your beloved pet has passed away, you can forever honor its memory on your vehicle. Celebrate it with a paw print placed between angel wings or a heartfelt text that reflects their importance in your life such as 'You left prints on my heart that will never fade.' Another idea for a dog is to include a bone and paw design paired with the phrase “In loving memory of” along with your pet’s name.

How To Make Memorial Car Decals?

You can create touching personalized commemorative designs using permanent adhesive craft vinyl and the following tools:

• Premium-quality adhesive vinyl in the color and finish of your choice.
• Cutting machine.
• Cutting mat.
• Weeding tool.
• Transfer tape.
• Squeegee.

Once you have gathered all the materials, follow the simple steps mentioned below:

• Finalize the design using the software compatible with your cutting machine. If you have Cricut, you will work on Design Space. Set the dimensions of your pattern or lettering and adjust the material settings.
• Place a piece of adhesive vinyl bigger than your decal on the cutting mat. Squeegee over it to make it adhere and load it into the machine. Allow the machine to cut your design.
• After cutting, use a tweezer, weeder, or a weeding pen to remove negative vinyl pieces from the decal. Take care to remove all the unwanted small pieces between the letters.
• Apply transfer tape to your decal and squeegee over it to ensure adhesion. Remove the backing from the adhesive vinyl. Your decal should be on the transfer tape now.
• Prepare the surface of the car where you want to place the decal by cleaning it thoroughly. It should be completely clean, smooth, and dry. Place the decal on it and smooth it out with a squeegee.
• When you are sure that the vinyl has adhered properly, slowly remove the transfer tape at an angle, keeping it close to the surface. You have successfully applied a specially designed memorial decal to your car.
