Weatherproof Memorial Frames · Made in Britain
A photo that stays
as long as your love.
The only permanently sealed, double-glazed frame built to survive years outdoors at a graveside or memorial bench — without fading, cracking, or filling with water.
After my mum passed, I just wanted a photo by her bench that would last. I couldn't find one that did. So I made it myself. — Troy, Founder of Heartwood Framing
Why Heartwood Exists
Built from personal loss.
Built to last.
When my mum passed away, my dad wanted to put a photo of her at her grave. He tried everything — frames from garden centres, specialist suppliers, online. Every single one faded, cracked, or filled with water within months.
So we built our own. A permanently sealed, double-glazed frame with UV-resistant glass. No gaps. No seals that degrade. No annual reordering. Just a photo that stays beautiful for years.
Heartwood Framing exists for every family that deserves better than a frame that gives up before they do.

What makes it different
Not just weatherproof.
Permanently sealed.
Permanently sealed — no gaps
Other frames use silicone seals that degrade over time. Ours are fused shut. Water simply cannot get in.
UV-resistant glass
Blocks the UV rays that bleach and fade photos. Your colours stay true year after year.

Our Promise
If it ever lets water in,
we'll replace it. No questions asked.
We believe in what we make. If your frame ever fails cracks, lets in moisture, or fades we'll send you a replacement at no cost. That's our promise to you, and to every family who trusted us with something irreplaceable.
Order with confidenceCommon questions
Everything you need
to feel confident.
Can I change the photo later?
No and that's by design. Permanently sealing the frame is what makes it truly weatherproof. Once sealed, water, moisture, and air cannot get in. The trade-off is that the photo cannot be swapped. Please choose a photo you love.
How do I fix the frame in place?
The frame comes with a stake attachment, allowing it to be secured into the ground at a graveside or pushed into a flower arrangement.
What size is the photo?
We print at 5×7 inches (12.7 × 17.8cm). The overall frame dimensions are 24cm high × 19cm wide × 3.5cm deep — a dignified, substantial size.
How quickly will it arrive?
We aim to produce and dispatch your frame within 5 - 7 working days. You'll receive a tracking notification as soon as it's on its way.
What if my photo isn't high enough quality?
After you upload, we check every image before printing. If resolution may affect the result, we'll contact you before proceeding we'd rather take the time to get it right.
Can I order one as a gift?
Absolutely. At checkout you can enter a different delivery address, and we can include a handwritten note at no extra charge. A thoughtful way to support someone who is grieving.
Ready to place your order?
Give their memory the permanence it deserves.
One photo. Permanently sealed. Built to last. A small act of care that says everything.
