Regali

Regali makes silver and gold memorial fingerprint charms from imprints of a person’s finger, toe, or foot. Each charm captures the uniqueness of the individual and is personalized with the family’s choice of letters on the back and an accent crystal. These bereavement charms can be made of any patient, from an early fetal demise to our oldest loved one. We offer a free sample charm to prospective hospital and hospice partners.
